The mission of the Monarch Center for Family Healing is to facilitate therapeutic interventions for youth and families who are seeking greater emotional health, more genuine relationships, and a more complete level of personal expression. All of our programs will rest on the foundation of Wilderness and Gestalt therapeutic principles. We will also use backcountry and wilderness areas as our primary working environment. Our goal is to create and facilitate programs and interventions that are of the highest effectiveness and integrity.

Each of our staff will commit themselves to their own personal growth and exploration with the understanding that they cannot lead and walk with others to places that they have not gone themselves. As an organization we will support these efforts with every available resource.
