At Connected Growth & Wellness, we’re expanding access to our equine-assisted counseling program, so we can support more people in their journeys toward healing. Horses for Mental Health serves as our nonprofit fiscal sponsor, operating in a project agreement with us to help expand this work in meaningful ways.
Our program works with kids and adults navigating issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and other mental health challenges. Sessions involve working with licensed therapists and horses in simple, intentional ways, such as grooming, walking activities, and experiential learning on the ground. The focus isn’t on riding or “doing it right,” but on the connection.
Horses respond honestly and in the moment, which helps people notice their own emotions, boundaries, and patterns more clearly. Over time, this builds trust, communication, and a deeper sense of self-awareness. We aim to create calm and supportive spaces where healing unfolds.
If this feels like something you believe in, we’re grateful you’re here. Consider making a donation to Horses for Mental Health, sharing this work with someone else, or simply taking the time to learn more. Any investment you make helps keep HMH programs growing and available to those who need it most.
