Trauma and Resiliency Resources, Inc. is a 501c3 public charity that was created to meet the on-going needs of New York City's Fire Fighters, Police Officers, and all Military Service Personnel and their families.

The purpose of Trauma and Resiliency Resources is to assist first responders, combat veterans, including active duty soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, reservists and guardsmen, and all their family members, in understanding that people often do not bounce back after significant traumatic experiences. Many people suffer alone for a very long time before reaching out, in part because they think (or have been told) that trauma is a permanent condition they need to learn to live with. This is not correct. Treatments are available that may alleviate or resolve trauma symptoms and enhance resilience.

Many of you coped as well as you could for as long as you could and now are simply worn out and exhausted. Some of you think there is something seriously wrong with you but are not able to confide this to anyone, including your spouses or partners. These are probably not things you are comfortable talking about with the "guys" either - but they are natural responses, even years after a traumatic event. They are also treatable.

TRR is launching a new program, specific for those who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan. The mission of the Warrior Camp program is to create an environment in which the trauma of war can be addressed. The camps are week-long retreats in serene and secluded locations that foster the development of a close-knit community in which healing can occur. They include a healthy balance of trauma therapies, relaxation and leisure activities.

"Eva, if you could be a 5 star general, the world would be a better place. I often think that I sleep better at night knowing our warriors are out there protecting us. Now I feel better knowing you are out there protecting our warriors. Blessings and deep gratitude to you." - Margaret Wilkinson, Ph.D.

"That's one of the best videos I've seen to explain how horses help people." - Kathy T.

Equine Assisted Psychotherapy is a treatment model that uses horses as part of a therapy team. The work occurs in an open pen and does not involve any riding. Horses are finely tuned to the emotions fueling or underlying the behavior of people interacting with them. This is what they respond to. Horses canʼt talk, but they give us an incredible amount of feedback about our actions and body language through a process called mirroring. We learn what is going on with our human clients by watching what the horses are doing. Working with horses can help you to identify and change old patterns and behaviors, and enhance your ability to solve problems, communicate, improve relationships, build confidence and self control, increase trust, and set healthy and safe boundaries.
