## Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Can Praxis, and what do you do? 
							
			
			
		

						
				
		
				
									We are a registered Canadian charity providing recovery programs for Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans, first responders, and their families living with an Operational Stress Injury (OSI) such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We do this via equine-assisted therapy programs, helping families find their way back from crises and conflict to a steady, balanced life again.								
				
				
					
						
				
					 What is Three Sisters Camp? 
							
			
			
		

						
				
		
				
									The Three Sisters Camp will be facilitated by a trauma informed psychologist, experienced in working with the veteran community, a serving veteran and an experienced horsewoman. It is designed as a safe, peer-supported environment where female Canadian Armed Forces members can feel grounded through experiential learning leading to self-discovery and renewal of hope.Participants will start their days with mindfulness exercises and continue with discussions and interactions with horses. The days will end with fireside reflection, all in support of personal renewal within a supportive community of peers.

									Can Praxis provides free programming and transportation for Canadian Armed Forces members, veterans, first responders, and their families living with the impact of an operational stress injury (OSI) such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In order to qualify for our programs, a participant must be clinically diagnosed with either of those conditions.

									Our process is based around three three-day phases, introducing members and their families to new ways of communication via interactions with horses. The phases are distinct, and may take months or years to complete. For more information, visit our dedicated page.
