Can Praxis

Can Praxis Equine-assisted therapy for veterans and first responders living with operational stress injuries (OSI). Richard F.

Can Praxis was founded by Steve Critchley a 28 year veteran of the Canadian Forces and an international mediator, facilitator, negotiator, and trainer. As unresolved conflict destroys relationships, and is especially common in overly stressed families, Can Praxis trains participants to manage their conflict effectively. The theoretical foundation for this is Managing Differences by Dan Dana PhD. Celeste, former Governor of Ohio, described the book as "A practical guide for dealing with conflict. Dr. Dana moves from scholarly content to common sense with uncommon ease." Can Praxis uses walk-along exercises with horses as a training aid. As a ‘flight’ animal they react to human body language. Horses react to what they see; it is their body language that speaks volumes about humans in their proximity. As EAT facilitators, we offer a translation the horses’ behavior to participants in order to increase their own self-awareness.

Canadian Legacy Project has recently launched our Paws that Protect program, which provides financial support to PTSD service dog charities across Canada. This program covers the costs of feeding and veterinary care for these service dogs during their training. By alleviating these operational expenses, the program enables charitable partners to focus on the effective training of these remarkable animals and the provision of support to Canada's Veterans. https://www.canadianlegacy.org/paws-that-protect/
