Message from our CEO, Zeb Nawaz:

“You can’t”, “it’s impossible”. These are the phrases I’ve heard all my life. Back in 2015 I had an idea…. A vision even though I was struggling to get myself out of bed, due to being depressed. Even then when I was told to give up, I said I knew I had to create Horses Helping People with Depression and Anxiety - HHPDA

Always listen to your instinct and NEVER let anyone tell you that you can’t achieve anything. In the last month, thanks to so many people who believed in me, at HHPDA we hit a major milestone of meeting HRH Princess Ann, and projects are opening up.

I can’t take credit, the people who’ve belived in me, our AMAZING TEAM, and most importantly the clients who’ve gone out of their comfort zone to push through their struggles. They are who deserve the recognition . Without them HHPDA never would have existed. Of course not forgetting my horse Harvey, who is the original founding member of HHPDA 😊I just had a vision

If anyone tells you can’t do something…. Have a catchphrase/ mantra…. Mine is “watch me!”…. Have a good week everyone 😊

“There’s power in YOUR truth” Zeb Nawaz, CEO of HHPDA

LIVED EXPERIENCE is POWERFUL it offers opportunity for others to share and know that they are NOT ALONE in their struggle.

I was diagnosed with inattentive ADHD last year. Though it explains things and I’m classed as “neurodiverse”, it does NOT DEFINE me.

HHPDA was created from my own lived experience of depression and anxiety. I wanted to create an organisation that wasn’t there for me when I struggled.

There’s power in your struggle, and for anyone who is feeling misunderstood, or judged know that there’s others who SEE YOU.
