Lacey's Fundraiser for AATPC

Once upon a time...

There was a 13-year-old client who struggled with severe depression and anxiety. They faced relentless bullying at school, and their parents were going through a messy divorce, leaving them feeling unsafe and out of control. 

They began to act out in an attempt to cope with their pain, which unfortunately led to even more troubles. Their life seemed devoid of happiness and peace. 

One day, their mom heard about a place called Animal Assisted Therapy Programs of Colorado. They offered hope, and the client agreed to start therapy, not because they wanted help, but because they loved animals. 

Over the next several months, a transformation occurred. The client built a strong bond with their therapist and with Hawkeye (Hawk), a horse at AATPC. Hawk, like the client, had a past filled with challenges and misunderstandings.

With the guidance of their therapist and the healing presence of Hawk, the client began to learn new ways to process their emotions. They discovered inner peace and happiness in the world around them. 

It may sound like a fairytale, but it isn't. This is a real story of resilience and healing that unfolded at Animal Assisted Therapy Programs of Colorado.
