"Our devised programmes offer young people the opportunity to learn to make changes within their lifestyle to benefit them and those affected around them."
The new skills learnt by working with horses and the specialist team will bridge the gap into normal living.
Apathy, low self worth, lack of confidence, bullying and aggressive behaviours will be addressed.
Positive behavioural patterns will naturally emerge through working with the horses.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy is a high impact intervention; this intensive programme is designed not only for the client but for the immediate carers, penetrating into their social community which may in its self require change.
Too often other interventions lack the ability to motivate those that most need it. Professionals exhaust themselves by trying to keep attendance high. We leave it up to the horses and our environment.
We don't want to make our clients feel any more venerable than they are already; therefore it is important that our programme includes community days offering participants the opportunity to see work in progress.
