Soul to Soles Connection is a 501(c)(3) organization based in Statesville, NC, dedicated to providing mental health support to veterans, active-duty personnel, first responders, and their families. Through individual and group equine-assisted therapy sessions on their private 40-acre farm, participants suffering from trauma, PTSD, traumatic brain injuries, or military sexual trauma are given the opportunity to work through their challenges with the guidance of professional facilitators. The organization's mission is to reduce the impact of trauma while fostering confidence, compassion, and trust, using the experiential nature of working with horses to engage military personnel in their own healing process.
Recognizing the unique needs of the military community, Soul to Soles Connection offers mental health treatment with horses as a powerful alternative to traditional methods. By utilizing the hands-on action-oriented approach of mental health with horses, clients are able to understand patterns, build on personal strengths, and translate emotional insights into life-changing actions. Horses serve as metaphors and powerful stand-ins for real-life challenges, allowing service members, veterans, and their families to integrate new perspectives and behaviors into their lives. Through their commitment to stomping the stigma around mental health, Soul to Soles Connection provides free counseling and wellness services to America's heroes, focused on healing from trauma.
