receiving pioneering cancer treatments that followed a 1% very bleak prognosis, Greg’s purpose quickly became bigger than
his own survival. He became speaker/fundraiser for the American Cancer Society at the age of 10. Greg has enlightened others
about the value of donating money to research-based treatments. Mr. Deitchler was instrumental in starting Camp Rainbow Gold,
a camp for kids with cancer. As an extension of the camp, Greg founded the first teen support group for teens surviving cancer.
Mr. Deitchler became the youngest person ever to be elected as the Vice President of the Local American Cancer Society at
age 19. His unrelenting desire to help others culminated in establishing Promising Horizons, a private clinical practice in
marriage and family therapy and mental health. His expertise is in treating individuals and families experiencing traumatic
illness. Greg has spoken to many groups to help them move forward in their endeavors. His extensive list of speeches
and workshops includes partnerships with local cities and hospitals to bring low cost marriage and relationship education
to the masses. He has given presentations to Fortune 500 Companies, Adoption, Cancer, Diabetes, Mental Health and Developmental
Disability Agencies as well as Chambers of Commerce, and Lyons Clubs. Greg has also presented papers and programs to the Idaho
Counseling Association, SMART Marriages Conference: the Coalition for Marriage, Family & Couples Education, the National Candlelighters
Association, and many others.
In addition to his private practice Greg is well known in the adolescent mental health
field for his work designing school based day treatment programs for at risk/emotionally disturbed youth. He trains educators
and educational officials on the complexity of issues in adolescent mental health, group dynamics, and team building. Greg
