Benbrook Nonprofit Saddles Up for Mental Health Awareness Month.

This May, Benbrook-area residents have a unique opportunity to support mental health through an unexpected ally—horses.

STEPS With Horses, a Fort Worth-based nonprofit, is joining a nationwide movement called the Seen Through Horses Campaign, launching May 1 as part of Mental Health Awareness Month. Backed by more than 95 organizations nationwide, the campaign highlights the powerful role horses can play in healing trauma, anxiety, and PTSD.

For years, STEPS With Horses has quietly provided equine-assisted counseling to veterans, youth, and trauma survivors across North Texas. Now, they’re stepping into the spotlight to rally local support and raise funds for their mission—and the horses that make it all possible.

All donations in May go directly toward expanding access to mental health services and maintaining their specially trained therapy herd. It’s a chance for Benbrook to stand behind those who’ve faced trauma and offer something healing in return—hoofbeats and hope.
