Скачать или смотреть Horses Addressing Stigma

At Hoof Beat Ranch we take the horses to you. How did a fire department get involved in horse therapy? Or even an outreach position with horses? Well, instead of only responding to overdose calls. The fire department decided to do something more by hiring an outreach position (community risk reduction) to help educate the community on the dangers of addiction to opioids and supporting individuals in recovery.

The fire service tackling addiction messaging to the public is quite harder sell than fire safety and fire truck demos. However, at Cayce Fire Department horses are help bridging the gap. The horse doesn't see the labels we humans put on each other. There calm non judgmental approach is powerful for community outreach and supporting a recovery community.
