Designed to educate participants on the basics of Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP), this one-day workshop is based on the EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association) model. We'll introduce the core concepts behind EAP, benefits over traditional psychotherapeutic models, as well as demonstrating basic EAP activities with participants.
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy creates a natural and non-threatening opportunity, especially for those new to or uncomfortable with traditional therapeutic settings, to identify negative patterns of behavior, and practice new functional ones.
