All participants received workshops at no-cost or by sliding-scale donation. Programs with community partners helped to extend our reach and ensure access for marginalized communities, low-income individuals, those with disabilities, and people recovering from addiction and mental health challenges.Participants were 89% female and ranged in age (18-60+) with the majority falling in the age range of 31-50, showing the programs broad appeal especially to women experiencing mental health challenges in mid-life. The data suggests there is a need for us to reach more men with our program. By expanding our Community Partner Program, we ensured accessibility for low-income, marginalized communities. 50% of participants were BIPOC individuals and 82% of participants were from Solano County, where trauma, addiction, and limited access to wellness resources disproportionately affect residents.Our data shows that many individuals struggling with substance use disorder are also suffering from numerous forms of trauma, disability, chronic health issues, poverty, and unemployment. 73% of our participants reported being in recovery for substance use and 73% report having a history of trauma. 42% struggled with a disability or chronic condition. 87% of participants were low-income, defined as$75K annually. 77% of participants were extremely low income, defined as$25K annually. This reflects the Centers commitment to creating an inclusive space for all participants and our dedication to tackling the mental health crisis in Solano County. Participants need our support to achieve sustained mental health and wellbeing in their recovery from trauma, while also maintaining sobriety. Our mission is to create a community of support around people in recovery from mental health challenges, including stress, trauma, addiction and disability.Based on post workshop surveys, Archway participants self-reported improvements in learning skills that support their long-term recovery and wellbeing. 83% Improved Emotional Awareness 83% Improved Coping Skills 90% Improved Healthy RelatingOur years work included the start of:A partnership with Archway Recovery Services, a multi-stepped residential addiction program in Fairfield, providing expressive arts, nature-based experiences, mindfulness and equine-assistedlearning workshops to women on a bi-weekly basis; A partnership with the Downtown Youth Wellness Center (DYWC), a Santa Clara County Behavioral Health program dedicated to promoting a safe, supportive, and youth-focused environment. As part of our pilot program with young adults (18-25), we offered 1 year of free monthly expressive arts workshops to support and empower these at-risk youth who experience homelessness, substance abuse, mental illness, autism, and domestic violence. Many events including: An Earth Day Celebration at Rush Ranch, where we invited the public to create a community art painting. Adults, youth and families joined in. A nature photography walk around Rush Ranch led by an award-winning eco-therapist and videographer where people, inspired by the surrounding environment, took photographs of plants, trees, wildlife, ranch work, horses and the cows which live in neighboring pastures as part of Mays Mental Health month in Solano County.We increased the number of volunteers who work with the Crescent Moon team and brought them to Rush Ranch for a day of ranch chores. As part of our growing volunteer program, we piloted volunteer days with Access Adventure and the Solano Land Trust to engage volunteers interested in land-based community activities. Volunteers learned ranch skills, land stewardship and, most importantly, engagement with community service. We invested in a highly skilled and experienced independent program evaluator with whom we met weekly to gather data from surveys of all of our workshops and analyze program outcomes. Participants fill out pre-and post-workshop surveys. Our outreach in the community also increased to include potential Community Partners in Alameda, Contra C0sta and Sonoma Counties.We held 10 public and private workshops - Vision Board, Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL), Art4Healing, Poetic Medicine, Mindful Photography & Nature Walk, EAL & Painting, EAL & Poetry.We presented our Power Point program slides to the Committee of Land and People, at the request of the Solano Land Trust. Our presentation strengthened the Solano Land Trusts connection and commitment to our program, as they were fully able to understand the scope and breath of the work we do. As a result of our presentation, other nonprofits expressed interest in our partnership program, enabling us to pursue and develop new relationships. We brought on-line poetic medicine workshops to people who were unable to join our sessions at Rush Ranch. This program increased our reach and visibility as John Fox, the founder and CEO of the Institute for Poetic Medicine, has an expansive national network and engaged community of followers. This pilot of zoom workshops was a success, with 23 individuals from around the Bay Area and other parts of the country attending. The close connection between the Institute and Crescent Moon has spawned an interest in Crescent Moon volunteers training to become certified poetic medicine facilitators. The Institutes Poetry as a Tool for Wellness is now offered to our trainees who, once certified, can become assistant and paid facilitators. We created additional creative art workshops by partnering with new facilitators from around the Bay Area Drumming, Improv for Creative Freedom, Somatic Clay Play, Mandala Circle Art, Vision Board, and Mindful Nature Photography. We also developed new immersive experiences that combine the expressive arts of poetry and painting with EAL into a single workshop. We found that guided interactions with horses help to facilitate and deepen creative expression and self-awareness. Our Program Manager and Facilitator became a certified Medi-Cal Peer Support Specialist. She has also completed her EAL certification, and is now a member of the International Association for Horse-Assisted Education. She is alsostudying to become a Certified Equine Interactive Professional. She joined the Board of TabiMoms, a nonprofit serving youth and families in Solano County. We also looked ahead and planned our outreach and program goals for 2026 which envisioned further expansion of our Community Partners Program and additional expressive arts workshops. 223365 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 18 0 false 1 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 6 6 false false true false false false false false false false false true true true true false false false false false CA X KAREN KAHN 9253104374 1007 Oak Hill Road STE B LAFAYETTE CA 94549 X Jennifer Georges Schneider Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Karen Kahn President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 LORI ESPINOSA Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Peter Alfert Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alberto Rulloda Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 WINTA HABTESELASSIE Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 289311 289311 WORKSHOPS 3302 3302 3302 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER 207 207 207 292820 3509 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 88500 88500 0 1001 1001 6988 6988 0 1428 1428 4230 4230 0 0 0 146399 71008 21666 53725 727 727 28 28 5134 1296 3838 0 26955 26955 6556 6069 168 319 0 0 0 0 0 2102 871 1231 DUES 11637 3832 4210 3595 CONTINUING EDUCATION/TRAINING 6950 6950 HORSE SPONSORSHIP 5000 5000 SUPPLIES 3332 3332 3941 836 2944 161 320908 223365 39743 57800 96077 67989 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 13166 13166 0 0 0 0 0 4500 4500 100577 72489 0 0 X 100577 72489 100577 72489 100577 72489 -28088 X false false false X 183065 321989 154446 286147 289311 1234958 0 0 183065 321989 154446 286147 289311 1234958 155297 1079661 0 0 207 207 1235165 8934 0.87410 0.70050 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 13166 13166 ARTWORK 4000 SECURITY DEPOSIT 500 4500 Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 4 ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION WERE AMENDED.
