BC-based foundation empowers teens, changes lives through land-based learning and mental health support
School was never cool for Nevada.
The teenager’s anxiety made it overwhelming—trying to fit in, keep up with lessons and simply get through the day.
“Every morning was a struggle. She refused to go to school,” recalls Nevada’s mom, Natasha. Many mornings ended in tears to convince her daughter to attend class. “Some days it got so bad that she made herself physically ill.”
Natasha did everything she could to help her daughter. She explored anxiety medication and asked the school for additional help. But nothing worked, and things only got harder as Nevada moved into higher grades.
