Today’s societal stresses have an impact on youth, resulting in an over-stressed childhood. Social and Emotional Behavioral Enrichment is an equine-assisted workshops designed to develop, promote and strengthen critical social and emotional skills to help better cope with everyday stresses.
The amount of stress faced by youth today can seem overwhelming and can threaten their social and emotional well-being. Social and Emotional Behavioral Enrichment workshops are designed to teach children and teens, ages 10 to 15, coping skills to help better manage everyday stresses.
Workshops feature our therapy horses and ponies. These equine partners assist participants in practicing social-emotional skills. Workshop activities are based on the five competencies identified by Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making.
Workshops:
Workshop 1: Your child will learn ways to identify emotions and implement healthy coping strategies in their day-to-day life while getting a chance to interact with horses and ponies.
Workshop 2: Are your children not able to engage in as many activities due to Covid-19? Are they feeling lonely? Isolated? Come interact with a small group in a safe environment and make new friends while learning about boundaries and assertive communication.
Workshop 3: Have you ever heard of mindfulness? In a world of technology, gadgets and multi-tasking, mindfulness can help your child be more present, gain more self-confidence and engage more meaningfully. Horses are great teachers to learn these skills.
