US EditionA Mississippi monkey sanctuary helps veterans with PTSD find peace
The sanctuary’s volunteer program helps veterans with PTSD by fostering trust and healing through care of rescued primates, benefiting over a dozen veterans so far.
- At the Gulf Coast Primate Sanctuary, a spider monkey named Louie sat on a rope ladder July 25 as Army veteran Richard said he finally feels at peace.
- The sanctuary founders, including April Stewart and her veteran husband, established a foundation with two exotic-animal veterinarians to oversee Mississippi’s USDA-licensed primate sanctuary.
- Amid woods and farmland, the sanctuary's 15-acre property includes three large enclosures, rescue dogs, two geese, and a black cat.
- Stewart said she didn’t intend to create a healing place for veterans with PTSD, but it has become one for some volunteers, according to her.
- She plans to open the sanctuary to the public next summer for guided educational tours, and volunteers also learn trust and extend grace, Stewart said.
