Mental Restorations

Mental Restorations is a non-profit organization created to promote mental wellness through community events. We are dedicated to helping active military members, Veterans, first responders, and the families of. Our founder and leaders compassionately understand the need for a healthy mental outlook as many of us have shared the same struggles. We offer opportunities that help you on your path to a more positive mental state and that also benefit the community. We achieve this by providing access to community activities, excursions, and adventures for our members.

Mental Restorations activities include boating, fishing, hiking, farming, sightseeing, volunteering, and more. In addition we have established multiple partnerships with working farms for teaching hands-on farming skills. Our eventual goal is to host opportunities to learn trades like auto-repair, boat maintenance, culinary skills and more. We aim to send our members home with peace of mind and confidence. Feeling valued as a contributing member of a community is an essential component of having a more positive mindset. We welcome your service to our community. In helping others, we help ourselves.
