Aria initiative: Third Ladder has expanded its humanitarian efforts by facilitating support for human needs through managed domestic direct program services. A small team of Board-certified therapists provide therapeutic services to address the physical, emotional and mental impact of trauma to meet goals for physical, cognitive, and emotional healing consistent with our core mission. Donors can choose to support this program alongside our other vetted programs to provide a restorative response to human suffering, giving intentionally and responsibly to vetted programs subject to our robust evaluation process and reporting system.
