Forepsyt Inc. is a distinguished nonprofit organization dedicated to providing essential support to veterans and public service personnel. Our mission is to facilitate healing and foster resilience among those who have served our nation by offering somatic equine therapy. This innovative therapeutic approach is designed to address a spectrum of psychological challenges, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complicated grief, depression, anxiety, as well as difficulties related to trust, intimacy, stress, and self-esteem.
Imagine a world where the very heroes who vowed to protect and serve us are left to battle their invisible wounds alone. A world where the brave men and women who risked everything to keep our communities safe are forced to suffer in silence, their sacrifices unacknowledged and their cries for help unheard. This is the harsh reality that many of our veterans, first responders, and public service professionals face every day.
At Forepsyt Inc., we refuse to let this injustice continue. We are a nonprofit organization founded by law enforcement officers who have witnessed firsthand the toll that trauma, PTSD, and mental health challenges can take on those who serve. We understand the weight of the world they carry on their shoulders, and we are committed to providing them with the support they so desperately need and deserve.
Our innovative equine-assisted therapy program combines evidence-based somatic experiencing techniques with the healing power of horses. Through this unique approach, we offer a safe and supportive environment for our heroes to process their trauma, develop emotional regulation skills, and foster resilience. The bond formed with these gentle giants has proven to be a powerful catalyst for healing, allowing participants to let their guard down and connect with their emotions in a way that traditional therapy often cannot.
The statistics are staggering:
- Police officers have a 54% higher risk of dying by suicide compared to the general population .
- Among firefighters, around 50% have experienced suicidal thoughts, and 16% have attempted suicide during their careers .
- Emergency medical service (EMS) providers are 1.39 times more likely to die by suicide than the general public .
These numbers are more than just statistics; they represent lives lost, families shattered, and communities robbed of their protectors. But there is hope, and that hope lies in the transformative power of equine-assisted therapy.
Research has shown that equine-assisted interventions can lead to significant improvements in PTSD symptoms, social functioning, vitality, and emotional regulation . A study by Modern Psychological Studies found that students in animal-assisted therapy programs had a 0% dropout rate, compared to a staggering 40% for those without this therapy . Furthermore, participants were 94% more likely to seek out mental health support when equine-assisted therapy was involved .
