The PEACH Pit

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

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

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

Today marks the beginning of Suicide Prevention Month.

If you’re feeling suicidal, call 911. If you’re a veteran in crisis, you can also call the crisis hot line at 1-800-273-8255 and press Option 1.

If your friend or loved one is in crisis, be there for them.

If you’re a first responder, join us on Sept. 10 for a demonstration of how horses can help you cope.

Because of the stigma associated with getting help, first responders may not seek therapy to cope with divorce, stress, traumas and the pressures of living up to our hero expectations.

Here’s your chance, first responder, to test the waters in a nontraditional setting. Around horses. Come join us at the barn for a free demo on Sept. 10 that will give you a glimpse of how horses can help you be more resilient. The deadline to register is Monday, Labor Day.

We’ve almost reached capacity, so before you go on vacation, please sign up for the demo.

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