Equine Assisted Learning
Equine Assisted Learning through CCS only
Equine-assisted learning offers a unique way to develop life skills through meaningful interactions with horses. By fostering trust and communication, participants explore themes of self-regulation, empathy, and personal growth, all while building respectful relationships with their equine partners.
Groundwork serves as the foundation, creating safe connections and encouraging discussions on self-awareness and emotional resilience before any saddle work is considered. As participants develop confidence and understanding, they can further enrich their experience through activities such as grazing walks, nature hikes, and guided interactions, exploring themes of self-care, motivation, and personal reflection.
wHAT IS ccs?
Comprehensive Community Services (CCS) is a program that helps people of all ages live their best lives. It focuses on unique needs that relate to mental health and substance use.
CCS is meant to help with recovery. The program works to stabilize and address mental health and substance use concerns, which include:
- Self-managing physical health and social health.
- Meeting basic needs, such as housing, education, and work.
Those enrolled in CCS take control of their treatment and recovery. They work with a team to decide which services and supports will help them reach their goals.
