It’s not too late

 

You’re not as broken as you think you are. We all are dealing with something. First responders may need more tools to help build resiliency to stress, and asking for help means you can continue helping others.

CHP Officer Kevin Briggs says this to first responders: “Don’t be afraid to be the client. You’ll live longer.”

While today is the last day to register for our free demo on Saturday at 4, it’s never too late to get the tools you need to help yourself. We’re here for you today and always, just as you’re here for all of us. Call us at 478-82PEACH (827-3224) to schedule some time with us and our horses.

It takes courage to ask for help. Be courageous.

It won’t go away

World Trade Center lights

Three New York firefighters who helped rescue 9/11 victims completed suicide within a year.

An officer who rescued four people at the bombed Oklahoma City federal building completed suicide. Don’t ignore your mental health.

A paramedic who helped rescue baby Jessica McClure from a well later killed himself.

It takes strength to say, “I have a threshold, and I need help.”

Come join us and our horses Saturday at 4 for a free demo for first responders, an effort to show how you can build resiliency to work through the stressors of the job.

It takes courage to ask for help. Be courageous. #youfirstdemo #firstresponder #eagala

Don’t make a deadly mistake

The police culture creates a cop trained to use deadly force but not one who handles stress. It takes courage to ask for help. Be courageous. Join us Sept. 10 for our free demo of how horses can help you be more resilient. #youfirstdemo #firstresponder #eagala

Don’t be that statistic

Responsibility creates stress. Law enforcement officers die 10 years sooner than the public. It takes courage to ask for help. Be courageous. #youfirstdemo #firstresponder #eagala

Be there …
