Our Impact
In our 2025–2026 Healing Together After the Fires wildfire survivor support group, participants reported an average overall helpfulness score of 4.5 out of 5 — and a 4.5 out of 5 for feeling a safe space to express their emotions. These outcomes reflect what we believe to be true — that healing happens in community, in nature, and through connection. That is what The Planted Brain is built to provide.
“I have felt supported and have noticed a shift in me, a better sense of wellbeing and that I am doing something in order to heal.”
“The most meaningful part has been finding common experiences and feelings with other participants. I have also enjoyed learning about the physiological aspects of trauma and grief.”
“David is insightful. I appreciate his approach.”
