Our guest speaker for Thursday, Dec. 12 is Caily O'Conner, Licensed Recreational Therapist, CTRS-Specialization in Behavioral Health, who works at the Sgt. Earnest I. "Boots" Thomas VA Clinic in Tallahassee.
She will discuss HUD-VASH, a collaboration between HUD's Housing Choice Voucher (VCH) rental assistance program and Veterans Administration case management and supporting services. Most veterans served by the program have been homeless or transient at some point.
A Hands & Hearts for Horses partner for the past six months, Caily will speak specifically to her work as a recreational therapist and how alternative therapies help veterans cope with mental health challenges.
