The Research on Supporting Veterans

Podcast Episode #69

Dr. Brenda Murrow reflects on recent experiences of spending time with specialized professionals including interviewing Adam Magers, MA, LPC and presenting at the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH), International conference.

In this episode, she shares an understanding about how to tie clinical practice to the existing research in support of veterans. This is done to support current practitioners who support veterans, whether in in-office settings or equine-assisted services. She also explains the importance of the guiding theories that drive the ways these can be connected.
