Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy for At-Risk Youth

Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy group for at-risk youth (adolescent boys or girls). It is designed to develop effective communication and healthy skills for teens with behavioral issues and/or problems in school or with the law. It is our intention to help clients recognize patterns and provide a safe and challenging environment in which to implement change and growth. Participants will explore important skills such as managing obstacles, challenges and distractions, dealing with peer pressure, and making empowered choices. Groups run in a weekend format of about 8 - 9 hours each day or in a weekly 2-hour group meeting over the course of 8 weeks, depending on the preference and/or needs of each particular group.
