Be Part of Something Bigger This May: Fund Therapy That Transforms Lives
This May, during Mental Health Awareness Month and National Speech-Language-Hearing Month, we’ve partnered with Horses for Mental Health to raise $15,000. Your gift supports therapy horse care and services that help individuals build emotional regulation, communication skills, and confidence through consistent, relationship-based care.
Advancing Communication and Inspiring Independence
Nature’s Edge Therapy Center provides medically prescribed speech therapy on a unique 65-acre ranch in Northwest Wisconsin, where healing is combined with nature and evidence-based clinical care. Our outpatient services are designed to help children, teens, adults, and seniors improve communication, social connection, emotional regulation, cognitive skills, and greater independence in everyday life.
Led by licensed speech-language professionals, therapy sessions incorporate innovative nature-based approaches that create meaningful opportunities for growth and engagement. Specialized interventions may include hippotherapy, which is utilizing the multidimensional movement of a horse as a treatment strategy to support speech, sensory processing, posture, attention, and motor planning. Additional experiences such as animal-assisted therapy, horticulture activities, and real-world ranch tasks help build confidence, motivation, and functional communication skills.
At Nature’s Edge Therapy Center, therapy extends far beyond the traditional clinic setting. Every session is designed to inspire progress, strengthen independence, and help each individual reach their highest potential in a peaceful, supportive environment.
