S.M.I.L.E. is more than a cutesy little acronym to encourage you to bend the corners of your mouth upwards; it is a statement of truth for many people.  Significant Moments Impact Lives Eternally, and that impact is experienced daily...for what can feel like an eternity.                                 

As we experience life, things continue to happen and it is our responsibility to decide what we do with the significance of the moments that come our way. We can pretend that mom didn't die, the divorce didn't happen, the bullying never started, or the completed suicide was just an attempt, but avoidance does not bring healing.  The mission of S.M.I.L.E. Project is to create a safe place for education, connection, and healing, a place where acknowledgment can happen in order for peace to be found.         

Through counseling and community programs, we support you as you acknowledge and process the significance of your moments, while intentionally working to create more significant moments.
