CornerHouse Wishlist
At CornerHouse, we love for the community to get involved. One of the easiest ways for people to get involved and feel as though they are actually making a difference is through physical donations. This can come in many forms such as donating a dinner to one of our therapy groups, toys and art materials for those that come to CornerHouse, gift cards for families in need and much more! This is a great opportunity to get involved and see the difference you make. Scroll to the bottom to see our monthly needs!
YOU MAKE HEALING POSSIBLE!
CornerHouse Therapy Wishlist
Therapy here at CornerHouse looks a number of different ways but consistently it involves many art and play supplies! In providing client-centered therapy, we are able to offer kids a variety of choices in how they process and express themselves around their experiences of abuse. That means we regularly go through a lot of art and play therapy materials! Some things are specific to our therapy groups and some are more for individual therapy- check out some of the comments attached to items if you are curious how we use them. For instance, dinner is provided during our Family Support Groups as most families are coming directly from school and work, and doing therapy on an empty stomach is neither trauma-informed or client-centered. Sitting down to have a meal together also gives kids, caregivers, and facilitators a chance for unstructured time to connect and build relationships. By donating items on our Amazon Ongoing or One-Time Therapy Needs Wishlists, you can directly provide these therapy tools for the kids and teens who come to CornerHouse! If you have any questions or would like to hear more about how we use the items on our wishlists, feel free to reach out to Tina Strong, Ph.D., our Therapy Services Manager at tina@cornerhousemn.org!
In 2008, a study found the estimated per-victim lifetime cost of child maltreatment is $210,000. That is worth a little less than $300,000 now.*
