Central Marin
Cedars
San Anselmo
When Cedars first opened in 1919, it was one of the first residential schools that worked to provide a community-based home for those with developmental disabilities. Over a hundred years later, Cedars is still thriving and so are those that live in its community.

Schurig Center for Brain Injury Recovery
Larkspur
After suffering from the effects of a brain injury, Schurig Center is here to pick up where the traditional healthcare system leaves off. From rehabilitation to education to something as simple as ensuring no one feels alone, Schurig Center provides whatever is needed.

Western Marin
Halleck Creek Ranch
Nicasio
This rustic horse ranch is so much more than just a place to ride. From bridle to saddle, the benefits of horse therapy are not to be underestimated, be that from the muscle gained through riding to the self-esteem gained from safely handling and befriending a large animal.
