Seen Through Horses Campaign is the first convening campaign of its kind focused on mental health through horses. The goal is to increase awareness, public engagement, and funds for 50 nonprofits to improve access to programs incorporating horses for mental health and personal growth, helping with anxiety, depression, addiction, PTSD, and overall well-being. No other animals have been as influential on human evolution as horses. Horses are adept at sensing emotions and have the ability to connect with humans on a deep level. “Having horses in my life since I’ve been free has had an amazing impact on my life, especially how I interact with people. They’ve taught me to find the connections that I wasn’t able to make on my own.” - Jaycee Dugard Launching Oct. 3-10, 2022, anyone can choose to fundraise for participating nonprofit organizations or make a one-time donation by visiting www.horsesformentalhealth.org/campaign. Join NOW as we unify and raise funds to continue this trailblazing work. “We are in a devastating mental health crisis globally, and horses and humans can impact each other to heal and thrive in incredible ways. We are excited to work together with industry leaders, practitioners, and advocates to amplify awareness and expand resources so all mental health needs can be met.” - Lynn Thomas, LCSW, President, Horses for Mental Health Produced by Horses for Mental Health and made possible by Title Sponsor, Zoetis, supported by Premier Sponsors Equine Network and Arenas for Change (ARCH), and Premier Partners, American Horse Council, Horses & Humans Research Foundation, Natural Lifemanship, PATH International, Temple Grandin Equine Center (CSU), Polyvagal Equine Institute, and The HERD Institute.
