How You Can Help
From volunteering for events to sharing your story, learn about ways you can give back to the community and support recovery for others.
Make a Gift
Gifts from grateful families help families benefit from our financial aid program and support family, patient, and alumni programming. Consider recognizing the efforts of a loved one or Skyland Trail team member with a gift in their honor.
Alumni Family Endowed Scholarship
The Alumni Family Endowed Scholarship was established in 2020 by families of Skyland Trail graduates. This endowment provides critical financial assistance to eligible patients, helping to ensure future generations have access to quality mental health services.
