In this episode you will hear about Broken to Brilliant's HEART program - Healing Equine Art Resilience Therapy. 

HEART is held in a natural bush setting at The Therapy Pod in Tallebudgera Valley and the program was designed to promote safety & connection for domestic violence and abuse survivors and their children. 

In this episode Tracey, HEART facilitator and equine psychotherapist chats with two HEART participants about their experiences with the animals and moments of joy.

Liam interviews the HEART program facilitators:

• Tracey is an Equine Assisted Therapist, Trauma Informed Psychotherapist and Counsellor.
• Lylle is a volunteer horticulturist assisting with animal handling.
• Amber a child support worker who volunteers
• Jane owner of the Therapy Pod & a neurodivergent therapist (counsellor/psychotherapist)

We are very thankful that the 2022 HEART Program was funded by the CommBank Staff Foundation.

Broken to Brilliant is an Australian not-for-profit charity founded by domestic violence survivors to mentor fellow survivors to recover, heal and rebuild their lives after escaping abuse. 

We know how hard it is, having lived through the trauma of abuse and travelled the long road to recovery. Therefore, we founded the charity to provide hope and strategies to other survivors to make their journey a little bit easier.
