Peace Partnership

This week, Dr. Jon Thompson shared a message about Refuge, a resource created for the moments that happen between counseling sessions.

The hard conversations. The anxious thoughts. The sleepless nights. The things we carry before we’re ready to say them out loud.

If you received the email, we’d love for you to take a minute to read it and let us know what stood out.

What if anxiety is not always fear?

What if sometimes it is the exhausting work of trying to control an outcome that was never fully ours to control?

In this month’s newsletter, Jamie Cooke, LPC-S, shares a powerful article on anxiety, confidence, and learning to trust ourselves in uncertain seasons.

You’ll also find a Sporting Clay recap, updates on our expanded counseling space, Golf Classic details, and a thank you to the supporters helping make affordable counseling possible.

Read the full newsletter below. 👇

Finding Confidence In an Uncertain World Anxiety often comes not from fear itself, but from the exhausting attempt to control outcomes that are ultimately uncertain. True confidence is found not in guaranteeing success, but in trusting your own ability to handle whatever life brings with integrity, resilience, and self-awareness.

SPORTING CLAY RECAP!

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

This year’s Sporting Clay Tournament was such a meaningful day, and we are still feeling incredibly grateful for the way people showed up. Sponsors, donors, volunteers, raffle contributors, shooters, and friends all came together to make this event our biggest year yet.

We are especially thankful to IPlumb KC, our presenting sponsor, for continuing to stand behind this event and this mission year after year.

Thank you to Matthew's Catering for providing the hot breakfast, Chick-fil-A Summit Fair for the breakfast sandwiches, treats, lemonade, and tea, and to Zarda Bar-B-Q for once again serving lunch and helping make the day so memorable. Lastly Ryan with Ervsflics for capturing the day so well for us!

Because of your generosity and support, we raised $17,300 for Peace Partnership. This means more opportunities for people in our community to receive affordable counseling, support, and care.

Today we remember and honor the men and women who lost their lives in service to our country.

May they never be forgotten and always be honored for their selfless service.

We know so many of you have friends, family members, and loved ones who have served and others who have lost their lives.

We hope you feel their spirits close to you today🤍

What an incredible day for Peace Partnership.

Because of our amazing sponsors, donors, volunteers, shooters, and supporters, our 4th Annual Sporting Clay Tournament was our biggest year ever, raising more than $18,500 to help provide affordable counseling and free in school mental health services to individuals and families in our community.

Every team, every sponsorship, every raffle ticket, every volunteer hour, and every act of generosity helped make a real impact. What may have looked like a day on the range will help bring hope, healing, and support to people walking through some of life’s hardest seasons.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude and truly blown away by the support surrounding this mission. Thank you for believing in what we do and for helping us continue making counseling accessible to those who need it most.

We are already looking forward to seeing everyone again in September at our 10th Annual Golf Classic AND sign ups are already live!
