For GPs, Psychologists or other medical professionals seeking more information on the "Triumph over Trauma" & "Refresh" programs, please click here.

Post Traumatic Growth is a key factor in this Program as is the measuring of outcomes and ongoing support.

This Program includes approximately 100 sessions, which represent a combination of educational and activity based therapy.

In addition to the evidence-based clinical therapeutic sessions facilitated by mental health practitioners, the following is a snapshot of some of the other evidence informed sessions which are beneficial to the vast majority of Participants.

  • Introduction to Equine Assisted Therapy
  • Introduction to Canine Support
  • Lived Experience Support
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Nutrition and Healthy Eating
  • Humour and Laughter Therapy
  • Trauma Sensitive Yoga

Participants need medical clearance from their GP or mental health specialist, and need to meet Intake Assessment criteria.

A maximum of 8 participants take part in each of these Programs.

Own room accommodation normally applies.

Participants’ Partners/Support Persons attend part of the Program, and are involved with their Participant in Sessions of Empathy, Understanding and Relationships.

There is a 3 day "Refresh" Program conducted 3 months after the main "Triumph over Trauma" Program for the same Participants.

This Program is at no direct cost to Participants as a result of generous sponsorships, philanthropic grants and the Foundation's fundraising activities.
