Illinois’ Mended Hearts Not-For-Profit Uses Horses To Help Mental Health Patients

Circle Connections: New Products & Services Mended Hearts is a Woodford County not-for-profit organization that goes beyond the usual therapy for mentally ill patients. Twelve years ago, Julie Sellner, Mended Hearts executive director, created a place where patients could learn about their mental health issues by working with horses. She believed such a bond would draw out the best and worst in clients. Now, this treatment in Woodford County could prove more effective than talk therapy.
