Retreat
PTSD and chronic stress from repeat exposure to trauma not only affects the Veteran and First Responder who has experienced this but it truly affects the entire family. Our goal is to work with both the individual and their families primarily through equine therapy & farmsteading to battle and overcome together. Our first step is staying at the farmstead for at least a full weekend to disconnect and immerse into what God has provided here. From the gorgeous views of creation especially at sunset, to working with our horses, eating farm fresh eggs every morning, enjoying some honey produced from the farm, lounging at the top of the rock fire pit, to even spending time in the great outdoors feeding other animals the retreat is the very beginning. We then invite families back on a more frequent basis to work with our equine specialists and trainers one on one through general horsemanship and groundwork. We also hold events for groups to connect with others that have spent time here to truly build a family and community to walk alongside each other with.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
We have hired a Licensed Professional Counselor this year and plan to bring 4 additional onboard for a total of 5! This will deepen our impact with equine therapy to a greater level of care. We will also be able to serve dramatically more individuals and families.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Our current LPC is working alongside a grant writer to hire and obtain additional counselors as well as additional ways to serve.
