Dear Friends,

At NCEFT, something extraordinary happens every day. A child discovers the confidence to try something new. A parent finds encouragement from people who understand their journey. A veteran experiences the joy of accomplishing something they once thought impossible. Behind these moments of transformation, there is something equally special at NCEFT — an environment where people of all abilities feel welcomed, accepted, valued, and safe.

We are more than a place to receive therapy. We are a place to belong.

Our incredible team of horses, licensed therapists, instructors, and volunteers provide life-changing programs that promote healing, build strength and independence, inspire confidence, and foster meaningful connections. Together, these experiences help clients overcome challenges, discover new possibilities, and reach their fullest potential.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of people like you.

This winter, we invite you to help ensure that NCEFT continues to be a place where children and adults with disabilities and mental health challenges can grow, thrive, and feel that they truly belong.

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference!

Thank you for being part of the NCEFT family. We wish you and yours a happy and healthy holiday season!

With gratitude,

Nancy Contro, MSW, LCSW
Executive Director
