Yesterday during our Drumming to Wellness veterans group, we focused on the Trauma Informed Care principle of Diversity.

True healing requires cultural humility—the ability to acknowledge how a person’s cultural background, historical trauma, and systemic marginalization shape their experience of—and response to—trauma.

Trauma Informed Care is a mindset change on how we look at others, and that includes the horses.

For example, with horses we honor their individual history, respect breed diversity, provide choice and agency providing them the opportunity to walk away, adapt to non verbal cues (watching for micro movements), and avoid bias and assumptions (reframing labelling that horse is “stubborn” or “bad”), we consider their behavior through a trauma-informed lens—recognize that resistance usually stems from fear, pain, confusion, or past trauma.

Thank you to Arts Midwest for your generous grant support so that we can provide these drumming sessions.

Take it from Chance the horse:
“A Negative Mind Will Never Give You a Positive Life.”

You get back what you put out. Horses are masters of that.

On behalf of the treatment team (which includes our healing herd), the Board of Directors and our volunteer fundraising ambassadors, we extend our most heartfelt gratitude to everyone that supported our Mental Health Awareness Month campaign with and .

Every donation, share, conversation, and story shared this month has helped strengthen this movement. Together, we’ve elevated awareness, amplified the voices of programs across the globe, and highlighted the meaningful connections between horses and how they are so healing to humans.

Even tho mental health awareness month is over, that doesn’t mean that the need to support mental health and equine assisted mental health programs like ours every day is over.

We raised 70% of our $20,000 May goal! 💚

Thank you!!
