To Be Determined
OSI-CAN stands for Operational Stress Injury Canada. It also stands for “Oh Yes I Can” find healing.
One participant has said, “The experiences this weekend have given me hope and a sense of being able to have a future. Its been a long time since I have felt either of these things.”

Why Horses?
​
Horses mirror our feelings and energy.
A horse's electrical field is larger and stronger than ours and their heartbeat is much slower as well. This has a calming effect and teaches symptom management.
​
Horses teach us how to communicate clearly with intent.
​
OUR PLAN:
​
Healing with Horses Reset Events provide the following activities and benefits:
-
Team building equine therapy exercises
-
Meditation Exercises
-
Learning tools for support
-
Bilateral Exercises
-
On-site counsellors

Develop empathy, trust, respect, patience & ... IT'S FUN!

What else is at the event?
This event combines many different nature and body based modalities to give an optimal healing experience. Each of these processes are tried and tested to assist with trauma, brain injury and calming the system. They also assist with relaxation and sleep recovery, enhancing the immune system.
There is no mandate to share or talk, even if you quietly take it in most people find they walk away more relaxed, feeling a sense of peace they have not felt in a long time and more hopeful about the future.
​
An option being offered during the event includes proven technologically-based therapeutic and beneficial therapies such as Neurofeedback, Visual Attention Training and Low Light Therapy. These are disciplines that provide improved visual processing, faster reaction times, and better decision-making under stress. It also strengthens focus and cognitive clarity, helping individuals manage symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, and depression more effectively.
Who should attend >>>
-Armed Forces/RCMP: Currently serving and former members from Canada and other countries.
-Supports: Spouses, Partners, Adult Family members, close friends.
