BraveHearts Employee Directory

BraveHearts is the largest Professional Association for Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.) program in the country serving veterans all at no cost, offering equine services to provide emotional, cognitive, social and physical benefits for veterans. Veterans at BraveHearts have reported benefits including increased self-esteem, self-... worth, trust for others and community integration and decreased depression, anxiety, post traumatic disorder symptoms and self-inflicting thoughts. "Innovative, alternative, non-traditional therapies should not be the last stop, or hope, for veterans," added Hill-McQueeney. "Horses are good for the soul, for the mind and for the future of the veteran. If we can curtail how many vets are having suicidal ideologies, then we've done our job. However, we won't rest until that number is zero." "Trail to Zero" is supported by the NYPD Mounted Unit, US Park Police Mounted Horse Unit and the Chicago Mounted Unit. Rides will take place in September, which is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, in Washington, D.C. (September 7); New York City (September 14); and Chicago (September 28).Read More
