young adults have had their professional and educational trajectories derailed and have <br />frequently just completed psychiatric hospitalization. Jubilee provides evidence-based group <br />therapy in a safe setting with peers. In addition, clients participate in a number of special <br />activities such as yoga, art, music therapy, cooking, and plant and animal care. Clients prefer <br />our services because the care model includes time in the outdoors and the approach is holistic. <br />Our clients and their families prefer Jubilee because of our personalized service and <br />beautiful setting. One client’s parent stated of their daughter, “We appreciate you all so much. <br />She has just never gotten such personalized care.” This individual was hospitalized <br />continuously for two years and is now working in the community and considering returning to <br />college. Our team does not give up on clients, even after they complete their time with us. We <br />have an alumni group weekly where individuals who have graduated from the program return to <br />Jubilee to socialize and spend time in nature. For many, the alumni group is the principal social <br />event of their week. We are committed to building a healing community to serve the Triangle <br />and have begun that journey. We seek a special use permit to continue and deepen that work. <br /> <br />Outdoor Space and Conservation <br />Jubilee works on an existing farm and has enhanced care of the land. We have <br />specifically planted 115 blueberry bushes, 70 blackberry bushes, and 23 fruit trees in the past <br />year. Our farm is also home to five angora goats and three angora rabbits with fiber work <br />integrated as a core aspect of client care in the winter months. As previously noted, we are also <br />planting a food forest in conjunction with the community as part of a Climate Change Action <br />Grant from Orange County. We are participating in a forest management plan created for our <br />bona fide farm status. Our program follows permaculture principles, a set of ethical guidelines <br />for the creation of thriving agroecosystems to support humans and non-humans. Without the <br />beautiful forest, singing birds, floating butterflies, and buzzing bees Jubilee cannot heal our <br />clients. We believe that their healing is dependent upon the health of this land. <br /> <br />Business Site <br />Jubilee’s clinical services are land-based. Wherever possible, groups are held outdoors <br />or in our gazebo among the fruit trees. Jubilee has an indoor, renovated barn space that is <br />designed to support groups, cooking, and movement. The barn’s construction predates Drs. Ken <br />and Joanne Wilson’s purchase of the land in 2023, and it was renovated for Jubilee’s clinical <br />services in the winter of 2023-2024. At that time, a septic field was installed, and a well was dug <br />with the addition of running water to the land. Our building meets ADA standards with an <br />accessible bathroom and large doors to allow wheelchair access. In addition, we have a <br />high-quality, centrally monitored fire alarm system. The building has central heating and air <br />conditioning. <br /> <br />Jubilee is currently focused on optimizing the use of our existing space. In the next five <br />to ten years, we could envision building an additional clinical building should our practice grow, <br />and we would thus like to designate a small 0.5-acre portion of the land as a building envelope. <br />Any additional buildings would be constructed with ecological design, focusing on minimizing <br />environmental impact and using ecologically sustainable materials. <br /> <br />38
