Developing EAA Research to Benefit Military Veterans
HHRF is pleased to announce an exciting new research partnership with the Caisson Platoon Equine Assisted Program, which serves the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center. As part of the collaboration, a special research fund has been created to advance equine programs providing rehabilitation for veterans of war with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). $50,000 in research funding will be offered through HHRF's competitive and rigorous application and review process.

Equine Therapy / Animal-assisted Therapy has been shown to be effective in treating patients, including combat veterans, with PTSD, depression, anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorders, dissociative disorders and other chronic mental illnesses (Journal of the American Medical Association).
Once funding for this project is secured (see thermometer on home page, the budget includes $50,000 research funding and $20,000 for related educational outreach and grant administration), a detailed Call for Proposals will be posted on this website. Resulting outcomes from the research will be disseminated to EAA/T professionals, medical professionals and other stakeholders through periodicals, journals, and related networking resources.
