Coming Home Again:  Equine-Assisted
Applications for Military & Their Families
Milepost Camouflage
This seminar addresses issues that arise from military service including extended separation from one's family and friends,
recurring deployments, stress-anxiety-depression management, substance abuse, and domestic violence.

The seminar is instructed by Greg Kersten, Founder of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, and veteran of the United States
Army.  Mr. Kersten has had the honor of certifying the military staff and volunteers at the United States Air Force Academy in
Colorado, and now brings his personal and professional knowledge of military culture to the training of civilians in this
important and timely work.

Comments from
Camouflage
Seminar
Participants:


"Great seminar
we will apply
this to help
families and
vets"

"Being certified by
a larger
'second-hand'
organization first
and then being
certified by 'the
source' of EAP, I
am baffled that
people continue to
make the same
mistake I made!
There is no
comparison in the
quality of the
training!"


"I would
definitely refer
this program to
others."
