MEDINA, Ohio — May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the national non-profit Horses For Mental Health has a unique way to expand access to mental health services.
The national organization is partnering with local groups across the country, including a Medina County organization that was highlighted on News 5 last November.

Forever Amber Acres was chosen to take part in a national fundraiser in the month of May. Every penny donated to the org stays right there to help the programs that promote humans and horses healing together. It's a mission to promote the mental health of anyone who needs it. In particular, veterans and first responders.
Michele Bolinger started the horse rescue on an 11.5-acre farm.

She told News 5, "The veterans need time to trust. And so do the horses."
