“Therapeutic programs include: eye movement desensitization & reprocessing enables emotionally distressed people to recover from the symptoms of their trauma much more quickly than previous psychoterapies available. Equine and animal assisted counseling is a psychotherapy that helps emotionally hurting individuals build a relationship with a horse or other animal to bring about transformation and healing. Approximately 300 survivors of trauma were served from a range of backgrounds. A cumulative average of 91% of clients seen in 2024 experienced an improvement of 75% or more on activities of daily living (adl). The finalized goal for number of sessions provided to children and youth up to age 21 was 2750. The total number of sessions provided to all clients in 2024 was 3,645. In 2024, we served over 125 children and youth with trauma-informed mental health care services through the equine and animal assisted counseling program. Clinically significant reduction of trauma symptom severity for our clients looks like: - years of daily self-mutilation to no cutting, burning, or head banging for several months - years of suicidal thoughts and suicide attempts to no suicide attempts and the elimination of suicidal thoughts for multiple months - daily substance abuse to the elimination of illicit substance abuse and proper use of prescribed medications - daily anger outbursts, some including physical violence against others, to one outburst per month that no longer includes physical violence - self-sabotage and/or total rejection of all relationships to the reforming of key connections among family members, teachers, and peers - debilitating anxiety and depression that interfered with daily functioning to healthy self-care that includes proper hygiene, a regular sleep schedule, portion-controlled eating, consistent exercise, and engagement with school/work”

Rhr sustained the first, and currently only, safe house in the united states for young men (18+) who have been victims of sex trafficking. Bob's house of hope opened on june 1st, 2021. It has remained full with a waitlist, due to the high demand for services. It has served approximately 50 male-identifying survivors of sex trafficking from across the country through both in house and survivor advocacy services. Those survivors have experienced numerous successes such as: celebrating 6 months and 1 year sober, obtaining their ged, acceptance into community college and four year university, improved physical and mental health, resolution of legal challenges, and sustained participation in the community without reentry to "the life." rhr broke ground and began construction on our expansion plans at our 40-acre property that will serve 30-35 male-identifying survivors of sex trafficking. Rhr continued our partnership with clear channel, lamar, and others for a statewide and national billboard campaign that is active to this day. It has generated over 800,000,000 impressions. Rhr continued our efforts to train law enforcement, first responders, and other service providers about the sex trafficking of boys and young men. We reached thousands of providers and community stakeholders in 2024. Rhr increased its list of community partners across dfw metroplex who refer clients to us when they are not making progress in other programs.”
