Our Story

7 out of 10 Americans have faced at least one traumatic situation in their lifetime. Many consider the impact of trauma to be a lifelong challenge. At Robin’s Hope, we seek to help people heal, so that the trauma they experienced becomes a part of their story and part of their past. Trauma can and does heal, given the right tools and support.

Vision of Robin’s Hope

Robin’s Hope was founded by Jennifer Kell, LCSW, and Heather Pate, RPRS- T. The name of our organization was inspired and in honor of Robin Farrar, whose heart desired to create a place where people could find support after they leave the hospital setting. This is the foundation of our vision for Robin’s Hope.

Jeremiah Foundation

We’re a non-profit program of the Jeremiah Foundation, which is a 501(c)3 that also provides outpatient counseling under the name Inner Touch. The Jeremiah Foundation is committed to helping people heal and manage mental health concerns.  We do our best to try and make our space safe, but we know that we will make mistakes.  We are always working on trying to improve our spaces.  The organization name is called Jeremiah Foundation, Inc. because that is what it was named in 2006.  We encourage everyone to attend from all race, creed, religion or no religion, lifestyle, color, belief, and so forth. 

Why a llama?

Our logo features both a robin and a llama. When Robin’s Hope first opened, we used the robin logo as an obvious choice given our namesake. Robin Farrar’s vision for this program was instrumental in its development. Shortly after opening; however, we realized that we needed something to communicate that even though we address very difficult topics, we sill laugh and have fun. Thus, the “no drama, trauma, llama” was born. Brahma (his name, of course) reminds us that resilience building is fun. The super hero cape he wears signifies the “super powers” we develop in overcoming adversity. We learned that llamas protect smaller, weaker heard animals and felt this was fitting as our “llama donors” make healing in our “healing heard” (because feeling heard is the first step toward healing, even in a hear) possible.
