Parenteen

In 2023, we served multiple communities and churches by offering seminars, small groups, at-risk youth and emerging adult empowerment opportunities, consulting, parent and educator training, and occasional writing. The organization delivers several different opportunities for serving those who serve the young. The main are:HURT seminars that help people to understand today's kids (a faith-based version and a version for the community at large); in 2023, approximately 400 people served in six different local venues.PARENTEEN seminars that help parents and family caregivers respond to the changing needs of children (a faith-based version and a version for the community at large); approximately 1,200 people served in several venue and larger convention settings.HEALING REINS FAMILY SERVICES (utilizing EAP, equine assisted psychotherapy) uses arescue horse and three others with at risk and/or poor youth, couples, and families to offer experiential therapy in a barn and arena setting; approximately 85 people served in 2021. The Healing Reins Family Services equine leader of the small herd for nonprofit side of equine assisted psychotherapy, Desire, suddenly needed to be put down in October 2022.For the work to continue Dee had to find, purchase, deliver, insure, and train a suitable horse to be the lead partner in the work. This, obviously, not only set back the ability to serve clients and the community but forced Dee to devote significant time and resources to get the horses up to speed.The costs of this is reflected in the Program expenses and the 2023 loss. HURT seminars that help people to understand today's kids (a faith-based version and a version for the community at large); in 2022, approximately 500 people served in four different local venues.PARENTEEN seminars that help parents and family caregivers respond to the changing needs of children (a faith-based version and a version for the community at large); approximately 1,500 people served in several venue and larger convention settings.HEALING REINS FAMILY SERVICES (utilizing EAP, equine assisted psychotherapy) uses a rescue horse and three others with at risk and/or poor youth, couples, and families to offer experiential therapy in a barn and arena setting; approximately 85 people served in 2021.BELL LAP was discontinued in 2021 and the checking account closed in 2022 after having a solid run helping individuals and families with terminal cancer to deal with their diagnosis.INSTITUTE for MINISTRY LEADERSHIP (MIL) which encourages and equips local congregations to create institutes that equip emerging adults in their leadership development.
