David Trogdon from the HOPE Project, along with Kevin and support dog, Loki, join us to discuss the use of equine therapy to bring hope and healing to wounded warriors, veterans, first responders, and their families. David highlights the many ways his organization provides support and community to people in our area, including chapel services, Battlebuddy support groups, PTSD/TBI (post traumatic stress/traumatic brain injury) education, and counseling.
We’d like to thank Emerald Coast Behavioral Hospital for sponsoring this important episode.
