Anew Day's Legacy


Anew Day officially began in 2006. At the time, it consisted of three board members, a handful of volunteers, one therapist, an idea and a desire to make an impact on a hurting community. The commitment and faith of Anew Day’s early founders has led to an incredible impact on the community. And we know that God has not finished writing the story of Anew Day. As we celebrate twenty years of healing, we look forward with anticipation to the ways we will continue to grow, serve and bring hope and healing to our community in the coming years.



"The legacy is already being written. From the moment we opened the doors to our community, my mindset was 'If one life is saved.' We recognized God's faithfulness to His calling, to this ministry in our community. That was the heartbeat behind it. One life, one appointment at a time."

~ Joy Porter (Prior Board Member & Executive Director)



"I hope that the community will be aware of this ministry and the positive impact it has, but also that the individual clients take what they’ve learned and use it in their daily lives. This ministry has lasted and that means something."

~ Betty (Lay Counselor)



"I hope they think of Anew Day as a supportive, kind, generous, loving, helpful place for people to go."

~ Hlynn (Lay Counselor)



"I hope they know the story of the beginning. All the struggles that we faced and the perseverance and needing to trust in God. God was always there leading us and He helped it to grow. Anew Day helps people to have the courage to stand up and say 'help.'"

~ Mike Bratton (Board President)



"I hope people remember that Anew Day has helped a lot of people to have a better life who otherwise wouldn’t know that they had the ability to choose something different."

~ Judy (Lay Counselor)



"I hope people remember that we stayed the course. We haven't deviated from our original mission which tells me that we are meeting a need and meeting it well."

~ Deena (Lay Counselor)



 
 
 

Youth Scholarship Fund


For twenty years, Anew Day has walked alongside individuals and families in Nevada County, offering emotional and mental health support that leads to hope and healing.


Now, in the next step of continuing that legacy,

we are introducing our Youth Scholarship Fund.


This restricted fund has been created to ensure that children and teens in our community can receive high-quality therapy services from licensed and pre-licensed therapists regardless of their family’s financial circumstances.


Our youth are carrying more than ever academically, socially, and emotionally. Some are navigating trauma. Others are silently battling anxiety or depression. Many simply need a trustworthy adult and a safe place to process the challenges that they are learning to navigate. The earlier that we can intervene, the more substantial and lasting impact that we make.



Our kids and teens deserve to be seen, heard, and supported. They deserve access to care that fosters resilience, emotional health, and hope for the future. Recently at Anew Day, we have seen that the need for support is more prominent than ever. In the first two months of this year, Anew Day’s professional division has served a dozen minors, many of whom have received scholarships.


Those scholarships are not possible without generous support from the community. We invite you to partner with us. Your contribution to the Youth Scholarship Fund makes healing possible for a child who might otherwise go without support. Together, we can ensure that increasing numbers of youth in our community have access to mental health care. Please help us continue to expand mental health services for those that are hurting.



 
 
 

We Are Here


Grace and peace to you! As we move further into this year, I continue to be struck by a simple but profound reality: the need for mental health care in our community is not slowing down. Each week, more individuals and families reach out, carrying burdens that are often unseen yet deeply felt. Anxiety, grief, isolation, and quiet despair remain ever-present, and the call for care and caregivers continues to grow louder.


At Anew Day, we meet that call not with hesitation, but with PRESENCE.


What makes our work possible is not a system or a program alone, but a community bound together by a shared conviction that no one should suffer alone. Our lay counselors, professional therapists, and every member of our team embody a kind of care that does more than listen. It walks alongside, bearing witness to pain while holding firmly to hope.


There is something deeply meaningful about being able to say to someone in distress, “We are here.” That simple assurance reflects something greater than ourselves. Rooted in Christ, we draw our strength from His command. “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” (John 13:34 NIV). Every person we serve is received with dignity, compassion, and deep respect for who they are, as we meet each person exactly where they are.



This is not abstract for us. It is lived out daily in quiet rooms,

in honest conversations, and in faithful presence.


Because of your generosity and ongoing support, our work continues. Lives are being steadied. Healing is happening. Hope is being restored. And together, we remain committed to responding to suffering with compassion and conviction.


Thank you for standing with us in this mission.


With gratitude and hope.


Gregory Ingram

Executive Director
