“Franny worked at HSU's Counseling and Psychological Services last year (2013-14) as a postdoctoral resident. She was an amazing staff member who was dedicated to, and well liked by, her clients. She carried a high case load and did not shy away from challenges. I would love to see her working at another counseling center or mental health clinic-- she will be an asset wherever she lands.”

Veterans learn basic horse care and horsemanship skills, which offer opportunities to build cognitive, emotional, and physical strengths and skills.
