Jeremiah’s Promise is built upon healing, hope and faith

Jeremiah’s Promise recently cut the ribbon at its new location in Patterson.

A special place that combines elements of a school, therapeutic center and a ministry, it seems appropriate that the new location was once a church. Using a combination of the interpersonal whole brain model of care, scriptural belief and simple love and care, Jeremiah’s Promise treats individuals from infancy to adulthood living with autism, trauma-related disorders, brain injuries and other challenges.

Vanessa Smith, director of Jeremiah’s Promise, told those gathered that they had stepped up from 900 square feet to 2,000 with a note of understandable pride. “This property is a gift, a holy grail,” Smith said in her opening remarks to the crowd.
