Healing Through Family and Farm Animals | Seattle News

A former Army National Guard member, Susan Cliber, has opened Stand Down Sanctuary and Farm in Yelm to heal veterans and first responders — and their families — through hands-on animal therapy. Inspired by equine therapy and her lifelong love of animals, Cliber’s sanctuary offers a unique, family-centered approach to trauma recovery. Veteran Paul, a Special Forces soldier with 20 years of service, found solace reconnecting with animals — and bonding with his son Bodhi — during a visit that showcased the sanctuary’s mission: healing through shared, joyful moments with farm animals.
