What it says it does
WE CONNECT FAMILIES TO SUPPORT AND SERVICES THEY NEED IN ORDER TO RECOVER FROM THE ABDUCTION OR OTHER TRAUMATIC EVENTS AND IN MANY CASES PROVIDE THE FUNDING FOR THESE SERVICES. OUR FUNDING COMES THROUGH PRIVATE DONATIONS AND SALES FROM OUR WEBSITE STORE. WE ALSO SERVE FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST A MEMBER IN SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY, WHO ARE RECONNECTING AFTER A SEPARATION CAUSED BY MILITARY DEPLOYMENT, OR WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED A LOSS AFTER MILITARY POST TRAUMATIC SUICIDE. THE JAYC FOUNDATION PROVIDES SERVICES BY UTILIZING TREATMENT PROGRAMS THAT FOCUS ON HEALING THROUGH TRADITIONAL THERAPY ALONG WITH ANIMAL THERAPY, EQUINE THERAPY, AND OTHER EXPERIENTIAL THERAPIES. THIS COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH BRINGS FAMILIES TOGETHER WITH TREATMENT PROGRAMS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THEM AND THEIR UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES. WE ALSO OFFER TRAINING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS SO OTHERS CAN LEARN FROM OUR EXPERIENCE. WE HAVE BEEN ASKED & ARE HAPPY TO PRESENT OUR IDEAS TO GROUPS OF INTERESTED AGENCIES & PROFESSIONALS.
