Equine-assisted programs integrate various horse-human skill-building activities that can reduce stress, increase confidence and improve self-esteem. Art therapy helps individuals process their experiences through hands-on activities in a playful, nurturing environment. Therapeutic Horticulture allows participants to explore nature through mindful gardening activities, engaging all five senses to improve mood, increase attention span, confidence, and promote self-discovery.
These core modalities, when coupled with licensed counselors, have shown to be an immensely powerful combination.
EQUINE-ASSISTED ACTIVITIES:
EQUINE-ASSISTED ACTIVITIES:
A PATH Intl. Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning (ESMHL) integrates horse-human interaction through Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL), Therapeutic Horsemanship (TH), or Equine-Assisted Counseling (EAC-In collaboration with a mental health specialist using talk therapy).
These unmounted equine-assisted activities have been shown to reduce stress, improve mood, enhance emotional intelligence, improve communication skills, increase confidence and self-esteem. Horses are highly perceptive to subtle changes in their environment, often mirroring the emotions of those around them, giving the participant and equine specialist information to use in various skill-building activities.
