Anzac Mounts
Equine Rehab Unit

 

    In my role as the Clinical Social Work Lead for Te Whatu Ora Te Tai O Poutini I have had many interactions with clients suffering PTSD and the effects of this on their wellbeing and those around them. Part of my role is facilitating a support group for men. Many of who struggle from day to day because of past trauma, often leading to behaviours that are self detrimental or harmful to others.

The Equine Therapy which has been facilitated by the ANZAC Mounts Rehabilitation Unit has been amazingly beneficial to those clients I have referred to the equine therapy service over the past 5 years.
