Casting Lines, Healing Minds | Supporting Mental Health for Military, Veterans, First Responders, and Underprivileged Youth
Our 501(c)(3) Foundation is Committed to Healing Mental Health Through Fishing
Our Approach
At Catch and Heal Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of nature, community, and compassion. Our foundation is dedicated to two core principles: fishing and healing mental health.
Through our programs, we bring together individuals from all walks of life, including veterans, military personnel, first responders, children facing adversity, and those struggling with mental health challenges. We believe that time spent in nature, particularly through the serene activity of fishing, can provide not only a sense of peace and tranquility but also opportunities for personal growth and healing.
Our foundation provides a supportive environment where participants can cast their lines, connect with nature, and forge meaningful connections with others who share similar experiences.
Whether it's a therapeutic fishing excursion, a mental health workshop, or a community outreach event, our foundation is committed to promoting well-being and resilience for all.
Join us at Catch and Heal Foundation, where every catch brings us one step closer to healing minds and nurturing hope.
Mental Health Matters
Catch and Heal Foundation is dedicated to transforming lives through the therapeutic power of fishing, specifically targeting depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Our mission is to 'catch' individuals and families during their most challenging times and help them 'heal' through the calming and restorative experience of fishing. We offer specialized programs for veterans, military personnel, first responders, and children struggling with mental health issues.
Our initiatives combine fishing trips with expert mental health support, fostering emotional well-being, resilience, and a sense of community. By connecting with nature and each other, participants find peace, hope, and healing. Our programs are designed to provide a safe space for those who have served their country and communities, as well as young individuals facing mental health challenges.
At Catch and Heal Foundation, we believe in the power of nature to soothe the mind and body. Join us in casting a line to a brighter future and reeling in the benefits of a healthier, happier life. Whether you're a veteran battling PTSD, a first responder dealing with anxiety, or a child coping with depression, our foundation is here to support your journey to mental wellness.

"Fishing with Catch and Heal Foundation after my ketamine infusion was a life-changing experience. As a veteran struggling with PTSD, the combination of the treatment and the therapeutic power of fishing brought me peace and a sense of community that I hadn't felt in years. The calmness of the water and the support from the team helped me reconnect with myself and find hope again. It's more than just fishing—it's healing."
