‘Community in Connection’ Visits the Farm

Collaborations are a beautiful thing!

We are excited to be one component of Community In Crisis’ new program called ‘Community In Connection’. Each element has a different name and trips to Mane Stream are the “Horses for a Healthy Lifestyle.”

Ken Musgrove, CPRS, Director of Recovery Support with Community in Crisis, Bernardsville shared, “I wanted to let you know what a positive impact our visits have had on those that participated as well as the larger community. The ability to safely re-enter and interact in society is critical in reducing the harmful impacts of social isolation. The added benefits of grooming the horses and experiencing their soothing presence increase the value of the experience exponentially.”

The goal of ‘Community in Connection’ is to bring the recovery community together, in community with the larger community to improve everyone's overall mental well-being. Incredible partners such as you allow us to deliver on our mission and we are incredibly grateful to work with you.

Ken also stated in the recent Bernardsville Times article, “Community is the cure. Perhaps not a specific, measurable scientific cure, but an antidote to the negative consequences of isolation exacerbated by addiction and the pandemic.”

So far the group has visited the farm twice and we hope to have them back soon!
