Trauma Informed Research
Veterans in crisis may show behaviors that indicate a risk of self-harm. Know the warning signs:
- Appearing sad or depressed most of the time;
- Hopelessness; feeling like there’s no way out;
- Anxiety, agitation, sleeplessness, or mood swings;
- Feeling as if there is no reason to live;
- Feeling excessive guilt, shame, or sense of failure

Chayah and Horse Power provide veteran services at no charge. In order to operate the program, we look for veteran sponsors to help pay for the sessions we provide. Our model consists of a Licensed Mental Health Professional and Certified Equine Specialist and, of course, a horse partner/therapist.
