OUR MISSION
Flatwater provides mental health therapy in the wake of cancer. We connect individuals with therapists to help clear their mind, heal their body, and find the strength to take on a diagnosis.

Raise awareness of the importance of mental health and the challenges that exist when a cancer diagnosis is introduced into a family or tight community.
-
Break the stigma associated with asking for and receiving mental health support.
-
Encourage participation in exercise and outdoor activities as a means of providing balance and mental well-being.
-
Create fun and effective fundraising opportunities that unite communities and promote the values of Flatwater.
