Mission
The James P Harrington Organization is a nurturing and inclusive community of wellness, healing, and transformation. Vision
A center in every community that provides holistic support for people seeking wellness so they can heal, build strength, and transform pain into power. Located on the pristine riverbank of the South River marsh, JPH’s center at Ferry Hill is situated on 9.3 acres of grounds and trails, including a historic barn, and attached building with an adjacent cottage. This peaceful retreat property has been in service of the community for over 60 years with a history of providing support for families through women-focused programming, robust youth-based summer programming, and a respite location to connect with nature. The JPH Organization was established in 2022 with a dual purpose of restoring and revitalizing this historic property and evolving it into a nature-based family wellness sanctuary. Wellness
JPH has a non-clinical and holistic approach to community wellness. Over 30 wellness and mental health professionals contribute to program design and content and delivery. Healing
When you step onto the Ferry Hill property, the healing energy of nature can be felt, seen and heard through the majestic, wooded conservation setting, the beautiful marsh vistas, and the sounds of wildlife. Transformation
Our free and low-cost community programming aims to provide equity and dignity for those who need mental health support. A supportive community can transform an individual’s trajectory of healing and growth.
