ABOUT THIS MEETUP:
Goat Walkabouts is an incredible program for anyone! We are so happy to visit Morning Star Assisted Living and Memory care in Boulder because their beautiful patients deserve a little goat time. They always perk up and have a blast when the goats are around. We need volunteers for this visit so sign up and if you have any questions, email Jim at [email protected]! Thanks for being incredible and advocating for goats and humanity!
ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS IS FOR AN INCREDIBLE CAUSE!
GOAT WALKABOUTS MISSION STATEMENT:
The Goat Walkabout mission is to provide unique therapy for individuals with Alzheimer's, dementia, Down syndrome, PTSD, and other challenges by establishing meaningful connections between them and our rescued Nigerian Dwarf Goats. Through therapeutic walks, visits to memory care centers, and group events, we promote mental wellness and healing while ensuring the goats have a natural habitat for exploration and well-being. Our integrated approach aims to transform lives and make a lasting difference for individuals and our goats alike.
ABOUT GOAT WALKABOUTS ADVOCACY MEETINGS:
Goat Walkabouts is a Nigerian Dwarf goat hiking program that has an emphasis on PTSD recovery. Humans have hurting hearts and we have herds that have heavenly hooves to guide you and anyone else right to bliss. We just need everyone to know about it!
The program began as a therapy resource for the PTSD community but it is growing beyond. There are many places we want to visit because the goats are just that great! We want to visit senior homes because we've found that some of the elderly population have never even seen a goat! Wow! We want to hike with more PTSD survivors and anyone who thinks they can benefit!
We would like more advocates to be involved to train with the goats and grow the program with us through awareness raisers like Goat Parades around local lakes and parks with the goats. Imagine being a part of a goat parade and it is for a great cause!
This is great for the goats because goats are migratory animals. They are meant to migrate from place to place and eat lots of vegetation that is in season. Most goats never get to explore anything because they are stuck on a farm but we aim to change that. These goats are amazing and deserve to migrate so we hike our herds with the humans that need it most.
PTSD recovery is in demand and we have an incredible resource with our goat companions! Therapy comes in all forms and we have found an incredibly special resource.
Please join us and let's send a message to everyone together as a herd!
