September is National Rehabilitation Awareness Month

Did you know that many children in outpatient care are supported by a team of different rehab professionals? Together, they help kids build skills, gain confidence, and thrive in daily life.

✨ Occupational Therapy (OT): Builds skills for play, self-care, attention, and emotional regulation.
✨ Speech Therapy (ST): Supports communication, language, social skills, and feeding.
✨ Physical Therapy (PT): Improves movement, balance, coordination, mobility, and gross motor skills.

Each specialty has a unique focus, but when they team up, amazing things happen for the kids and families we serve. 💪🐴

Thank you for sharing this moving story, Give Local York.

How has a local nonprofit impacted your life?

We collected stories of kindness from you to share about your favorite organizations. This Anonymous submission shared a touching story about Leg Up Farm:

"A friend of mine watched their son struggle for years after his military service. Traditional therapy wasn’t working, and hope was fading. Then he found Leg Up Farm’s Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) program. Working with the horses helped him reconnect with himself and others, rebuild trust, and begin to heal. It changed his life.

Leg Up Farm offers equine-assisted psychotherapy to Veterans and First Responders, helping them find a renewed sense of self, promote relaxation, and improve communication. I've seen firsthand how EAP can be life-changing.

Right now, they're offering free EAP for any First Responder (including nurses and doctors) impacted by the recent UPMC active shooter incident, as well as UPMC staff who were affected. This is just one more way they are caring for those who may be suffering from PTSD or trauma. Your support (of Leg Up Farm) could save or improve the life of someone you love or someone you have never met. We need services like this in our community."

Recently, two of our herd members, Sully and Nickel, received chiropractic care from the equine team at Green Glen Equine Hospital . 🐴

Have you ever seen a horse get an adjustment? Just like people, horses benefit from chiropractic care to help keep them moving comfortably and feeling their best.

Self-care isn’t just for humans—our hardworking herd deserves the very best veterinary care, along with time to play, relax, and simply enjoy being horses. 🐴

Yesterday, leaders from the York County First Responder community visited Leg Up Farm to learn more about our Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP).

Leg Up recently received a grant that covers 100% of the cost of EAP for first responders in York County. All you have to do is give us a call at (717) 266-9294 or email us at equineintake@legupfarm.org to schedule your first appointment. You are not obligated to contact your employer and all you need is documentation that verifies you're a first responder!

Highly-qualified therapists and trainers lead individuals (or groups if they prefer) through a 45 min session where fire fighters, police, EMS, and 911 dispatchers can explore their wellness and themselves.

Thank you to all the emergency personnel departments from around York County who visited with us yesterday to learn more about this program. These things don't happen without collaboration and support, and thanks to WellSpan Health, York County Safety Collab, and leaders throughout the community; we can make a difference...together.
