Help us raise $850,000 to complete the vision

We have officially moved into our new home, Karla Smith Behavioral Health at The Farm, and we’re already welcoming individuals and families to experience a different approach to care that brings together personalized therapy, therapeutic groups, skill-building, and hands-on experiences. We’ve reached this point largely because of the incredible response to the first phase of our campaign, with our outstanding community surpassing our initial goal in just nine months.

That momentum is carrying us into the next phase. Our vision for what care can look like is still growing. Through our ongoing Capital Campaign, we’re continuing to develop the spaces that make more of these experiences possible. From dedicated areas for therapeutic groups and experiential therapies to places where people can gather, create, learn, and put new skills into practice, each completed space gives us yet another way to meet the individual needs of the people we serve.

Bring these spaces to life

While many areas of The Farm are already serving individuals and families, others are still waiting to become part of the experience. These new spaces create new possibilities for how care can happen at KSBH, from more room for therapeutic groups and experiential therapies to hands-on activities, community connection, and opportunities for people to practice what they’re learning in meaningful ways..

The renovation of our pole barn is a top priority as it will provide a multipurpose space for therapy groups, workshops, family programs, childcare for our clients receiving services, and community events. Expanding this space makes it possible for us to serve more people and make those services more accessible.  When we aren’t using it, we’ll rent it out for outside events, so the barn earns income that goes right back into our programs and helps The Farm sustain itself for years to come.

The plan also includes a coffee shop in the red barn and a gymnasium in another existing barn. Each space gives the people we serve one more place to connect, heal, and practice real progress.

Watch the video below to see how we imagine these spaces coming to life…

Gymnasium

GOAL: $100,000

Help us build a space where movement becomes medicine. This gym will host wellness activities like yoga, basketball, fitness sessions, and more—supporting physical and emotional strength.

Seeking: flooring, fitness equipment, lighting.

Join Us in Creating a Space Where Healing Happens Differently

The truth is, most mental health systems weren’t designed for real life. That’s why we’re continuing to build something better, more creative, and more human. that will serve our community for years to come.

At The Farm, care moves beyond talking about change to practicing it. Individual counseling can work alongside therapeutic groups; a skill introduced in therapy can be explored through an activation; and because every person comes to us with different needs, experiences, and goals, the combination involved in their approach will look different.

Our campus is for the teen who needs therapy that doesn’t feel like a punishment, for the parent who’s doing everything they can but still feels alone, and for the person who’s ready to try again because they finally believe it’s possible.
