WHY HOPE REMAINS
Before the age of 16, one in four children will experience at least one traumatic event in their life:
Without acknowledgement and support, this often leads to anger, addiction, depression, self abuse, difficulty and/or avoidance of relationships, interacting or trusting in others.
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) estimates that 26.2% of American adults (age 18+) about one in four adults — will have a mental illness at one point in their lives.
Results: Equine Therapy vs Traditional Therapy:
- 3 times faster rate of acknowledgement and willingness for support.
- Statistically participants attend ET sessions with more regularity than traditional therapy sessions.
- Equine Therapy is a non-judgmental experience that does not feel like therapy. On average, participants prefer to attend an ET session.
- Equine Therapy provides a self discovery solution vs a diagnosed solution using metaphors through the horses. Participants acknowledge the source of their emotional or behaviors issue through the horses and help develop their own plan of growth and hope.
