Families Helping Families
We encourage families of Skyland Trail graduates to stay connected with our community. There are many ways to give back and support families at an earlier stage of their recovery journey.

Families of adult and adolescent graduates are encouraged to stay connected to the Skyland Trail community. Stay in the know. Sign up to receive our quarterly alumni family newsletter.
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.
