I’m excited to represent PBJ Connections for the Horses for Mental Health Campaign. As a college student, I frequently deal with anxiety and stress. It’s an ongoing challenge for me to prioritize my mental health and carve out time for self-care amidst my daily routine. I am a part of my university equestrian team where members compete at IHSA shows and take weekly lessons at our home barn. The calming environment at the barn is an escape from the stressors of college. PBJ Connections utilizes the calming and emotional intelligence of horses to aide in therapy helping people heal and improve their mental health. They have had a huge impact on my community. Donating to PBJ Connections will help these programs and services flourish and become even more accessible to our community.
