The Power of Horses: Supporting Mental Health in Rural Communities

In rural America, individuals seeking mental health support face barriers which often include the lack of access to quality resources. Combined with the stigma that surrounds mental illness, finding mental health help can be difficult and leave individuals feeling unheard and alone. 

Rural Minds partnered with the nonprofit Horses for Mental Health in the making of a video to help increase awareness and improve access to programs that incorporate horses for mental health in rural America. As a horse owner and avid equestrian, Rural Minds Founder and Chairman Jeff Winton was delighted to take part in this project.
