So excited for the field of equine assisted services and the recognition it is getting as an evidenced based service.
Animal-assisted psychotherapy is a form of mental and behavioral health treatment that partners with horses and other animals to help adults, children and families to heal from trauma, to manage autism or to overcome anxiety, depression, grief or other emotional problems. The modality is supported by the National Association of Social Workers, and some U.S. colleges offer training in the practice, including through a graduate certificate offered at Colorado State University.
