LANCASTER, Pa. — Greystone Manor Therapeutic Riding Center (GMTRC) in Lancaster County is offering a free equine-assisted group therapeutic intervention to medical professionals, frontline workers and first responders.
The program is geared toward these professionals who experienced PTSD, high anxiety, stress and thoughts of suicide during their time working through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Professionals say that because of the staffing shortages, longer hours and working in an overwhelmed health system, many frontline workers are experiencing a severe mental health crisis.
The program starts on Wednesday, Oct. 11 and will last for six weeks.
