September is Su***de Prevention Month, and this year our community is coming together in a new way. 💛

Ruby Ranch Mental Health is partnering with Jimmy’s New York Street Dogs and other local Grants Pass businesses for a month-long campaign focused on hope, connection, and su***de prevention.

Throughout September, you’ll start seeing Su***de Prevention donation jugs at participating local businesses. Every contribution adds up to support local mental health services and su***de prevention efforts through Ruby Ranch Mental Health.

But we also want this month to be about showing up for our community, not just fundraising. That’s why we’re introducing the Su***de Prevention Passport. Pick up a Passport at a participating business, visit businesses around Grants Pass throughout September, and collect stamps along the way. It’s a fun way to support the local businesses joining this effort while helping spread awareness throughout our community.

And yes… there are bragging rights involved. 👀 Participating businesses will be competing to see who can raise the most during September and take home the coveted Horseshoe of Hope for the year. 🏆🐴🌭

This campaign is especially meaningful because Jimmy’s New York Street Dogs created this effort in honor of their son. We’re grateful to stand alongside their family and our local businesses in turning that loss into greater connection, awareness, and support for others.

Follow along throughout September as we introduce the participating businesses, share where you can find the jugs and Passports, and reveal more details about our October event.

Together, we can remind people in our community that they matter, support is available, and no one has to navigate hard things alone.

If you or someone you know needs immediate emotional support, call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

It is important for the horses to have a break, just like all of us need. We like to have some days where no one is asking anything of the horses.

Equine-assisted psychotherapy is about creating space for connection, healing, and growth, and we’re thankful for every opportunity to help more people in our community understand what that can look like.

Thank you to NBC5 for helping shine a light on our mission and the horses who make this work so special.

🐴 We’re on Jefferson Public Radio!

We’re so grateful to Peyton Gast and JPR for spending time at Ruby Ranch and sharing a little of what equine-assisted psychotherapy can look like here in Southern Oregon.

🎧 There’s a 4-minute audio story at the top of the article — click the link and hit “Listen” to hear the horses (and us!) in action.

The story also highlights something incredibly important to us: how difficult accessing quality mental health care, especially equine-assisted psychotherapy in our community, and why we’re working so hard to make these services more accessible.

Thank you to everyone who has helped Ruby Ranch Mental Health grow and supported our mission. 💛🐴

Equine-assisted psychotherapy can offer young clients a different way to work through trauma, but the treatment can be difficult to access in Southern Oregon.
