Mission

Jumping Mouse Children's Center transforms children's lives by providing expressive mental health therapy for as long as necessary. We nurture each child's healthy development and supportive relationships at home and in the community.

Description

Jumping Mouse Children's Center is the only mental health center dedicated to children on the Olympic Peninsula. We serve kids ages 3-12 regardless of their families ability to pay for services. With over two-thirds of our children coming from low-income families; we rely on community and foundation support to make our services accessible. 

Many of the children that come to Jumping Mouse have experienced an emotional stress or trauma that is deeply affecting them. Some examples include: grieving the loss of the loved one, domestic violence, abuse, or neglect. Sometimes they are coping with changes in their family structure, or a serious illness or medical problem. When these and other stressors affect a child's ability to communicate, to attend school, or to relate to others, Jumping Mouse is here to help.

Our unique model includes weekly one-on-one therapy sessions between the child and a specially trained therapist. This will continue for as long as necessary. While their child is in therapy, parents and caregivers also receive ongoing support. In addition, we meet with teachers and other important adults in the child's life to develop a strong support system for the child and their family.

Our purpose at Jumping Mouse continues unwaveringly, to be a safe and stable resource for our kids, their families, and our community. Your support makes this possible. Thank you!
