Amethyst Inc.

exists to nurture and sustain healthy women and families. We provide long-term addiction, trauma and mental health treatment, integrated with safe housing, to homeless women and their children. Over the summer months, the children living with their mothers attend a 12 week therapeutic day camp known as Summer Quest which is located at The Buckeye Ranch. The intent of Summer Quest is to help break the cycle of addiction by working directly with the children whose parents are in treatment. We achieve this goal by working to increase social competencies, life skills and protective factors while decreasing risk factors through a combination of interventions. Our activities include ATOD prevention groups (Alcohol, tobacco and other drugs), educational groups, art therapy and structured play, exercise, weekly field trips and cultural activities.

This summer we are seeking a diverse group of folks who would be willing to spend a couple of hours with our children with the hopes of inspiring and opening their minds to other opportunities in our community. A performance of some type followed by a short workshop and a question and answer session would be ideal but we are more than willing to except any. We are open to discussing any rates you may charge for a few hours of your time.
