Grand Opening of the Be Brave Ranch
On Saturday, September 27th, over 500 people joined us for an amazing Grand Opening Celebration of the Be Brave Ranch. The chilly fall weather did not keep anyone away and we are so grateful that so many could join us! Thank you to the many donors, vendors and volunteers that helped make the event a success.
The media joined us for this spectacular day as well. Read more on the stories covered by Global News, Morinville News and Sherwood Park News.
The Be Brave Ranch is a dream come true. So many people have donated their time, talent and treasure to make it all possible. Please take a moment to view our list of supporters.
Now Accepting Applications for the Be Brave Ranch
The Be Brave Ranch by Ray LaBonte and Family is a treatment centre focused solely to help children who have been sexually abused, as well as their families. The Be Brave Ranch program (supported by Little Warriors) offers these children a place to heal and increase their chances of growing into healthy adults, and supports both the child and their families in their own environment for a full year.
Would you like your child to heal in a camp like setting? The application is quick, easy and confidential. Click here to start the application process. Email [email protected] if you have questions about the application process.
Our Approach:
The Be Brave Ranch offers an evidence-based treatment program that combines multiple proven therapies for children ages 8-12. It starts with an initial 20-day period at the Be Brave Ranch, during which they form close relationships with the 7 other members of their peer-group (cohort). This is followed by long-term therapy and support for the child and their family lasting a full year. During this extended period, children come back to the Be Brave Ranch for 3 other 7-day periods for further therapy and to reconnect in person with their cohort.
During the one-year program there is more than 200 hours of diverse therapy for children and their families run by clinical professionals, and offering a unique program including:
Intensive trauma focused-cognitive behavioural therapy (TF-CBT)
Art therapy
Play therapy
Music therapy
Recreational activities
Peer group (cohort) support
Therapy is provided in an enriched camp-like environment in which children also have lots of fun! Being in cohorts helps each child recognize they are not alone, and gives them peers who have experienced similar traumas. The children form long-term relationships with deep bonds, and these also help the children heal.
Child abuse affects the whole family; thus, our program also incorporates family-centered therapy. Children come to the Be Brave Ranch with a parent or caregiver whenever possible. The Be Brave Ranch provides a safe environment for the child and their family to heal.
