Message From the CEO – Summer 2022

Dear Friends of Rose Brooks Center,

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer, filled with special moments and memories with friends, family, or loved ones. At Rose Brooks Center, we count it an honor to walk alongside those we serve, as they create new and lasting memories all summer long.

Some of the memories that we truly love to see here at Rose Brooks Center are the ones where both adults and children are smiling and laughing. Sometimes it’s a sprinkler to run through on a hot day, or a back-to-school field day filled with fun and games for the entire family. Other times, it’s a family-style cookout to celebrate the holidays or children happily playing with their pets.

Regardless of the moment, there is a profound significance that is not lost on us as we watch survivors create new memories because of their safe environment. As a matter of fact, feeling safe is one of the many ingredients our bodies and minds need in order to heal.

By your many gifts of time and kindness, you allow countless families the space to not only create special moments together, but the time to heal from trauma.

We thank you for these incredible gifts and wish you a safe and happy rest of your summer.

 

With sincere gratitude,


Lisa Fleming, CEO
