Favorite scripture:
“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16
Therapy Providers at Joy Meadows

Therapy Mentors at Joy Meadows
Volunteer Therapy Mentors ease this burden by being present each week and playing with children while one is in a session. This allows parents to participate in therapy sessions stress-free.
