Seth is wise. Listen to Seth.

Before Pride Season ( June - September ) starts, let me say this:

• Men’s Mental Health Month matters and supporting men’s mental health should happen all year long, not only in November.

• Pride exists because 2SLGBTQIA+ people have historically faced discrimination, violence, death, exclusion, and the fight for the right to live openly and safely. ( may I suggest watching a documentary called The Gendercode link found below.

• Veterans deserve recognition and support every single day, and their service should never be reduced to a comparison.
( may I suggest watching the documentary "The Fruit Machine" for Canadian Military LGBT historical purposes ) The link found below.

Different communities can all be acknowledged, supported, and celebrated without taking away from one another.

Awareness isn’t a competition. Compassion has room for everyone.

History and education matter, which means we each have a responsibility to be accountable for our actions, to unlearn harmful patterns, relearn with openness, and help create a future that is lighter, safer, and healthier for everyone.

That choice is always ours to make.

Happy PRIDE SEASON!!!

Today is Harvey Milk Day. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

As we remember the life and legacy of Harvey Milk today, we re-commit ourselves to his vision: “All young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment in which to achieve their full potential.” —Harvey Milk

Today and every day, we will fight for all LGBTQ+ people to be safe, celebrated, empowered, and loved. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Our friends at Horse Sense North are up to amazing things! Check them out!

We’re excited to announce a new Above & Beyond program date specifically for the 2S-LGBTQIA+ community!

Above & Beyond is a 5-day equine therapy and wellness program for Public Safety Personnel, with 3 months of virtual aftercare.

There is no riding, no trauma talk, and no need for a mental health diagnosis.

It’s also Clinically Supervised by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Steven Jett

PSP from all walks of life are welcome in each cohort. We also recognize the need to create spaces where specific groups can come together.

AND, our entire team at the farm team is part of the rainbow in some way, so we’re really looking forward to offering more population specific programs like this.

This program is billed as Psychological Services, and most extended health benefits will cover it.

Please share this with those who may benefit 🫶🌈
