Since the pandemic, anxiety and depression have surged, hitting vulnerable communities hardest. Underserved areas lack the mental health, educational, and community resources families desperately need.
The Exception was founded in 2018 to change that. We use trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy, to help people break free from cycles of trauma, addiction, and hopelessness.
The Fit Life is our flagship wellness program, combining physical fitness, mental health, nutrition education, and community into one 8-week journey. We don’t just build bodies we build lives
