SANTAQUIN, Utah, June 24, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In order to ensure the highest quality treatment for our active military, reserves, veterans, and their families challenged with PTSD, TBI, re-integration, addiction, suicidal tendencies, resiliency and other mental and behavioral challenges, EAGALA Military Services www.eagala.org/military, a division of the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association www.eagala.org has instituted a strict protocol for practitioners intending to provide Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) or Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) services to this population. An official designation -- EAGALA Military Services Provider -- has been created to support this initiative. Distinguished, vetted programs will receive referrals to do this important and sensitive work, it was announced today by Lynn Thomas, Founder and Executive Director of the nonprofit. With suicide rates that outpaced combat deaths in 2012 according to the Department of Defense (DOD), the need for certified practitioners with specialized training and experience in military culture and community is critical.
