Project Title: Equine Assisted Therapy (TASC)
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The Equine Assisted Therapy Program provides psychotherapeutic services for children and youth ages 5-21 in Eliada\u2019s other programs and in our community. An estimated 45% of Buncombe County residents have 1-2 risk factors associated with mental illness, and mental health was among the top three Buncombe County Health Assessment priorities. According to the NC Psychiatric Crisis Line, 21% (5,657) of Medicaid-enrolled youth in Buncombe County have a psychiatric disorder. Further, Buncombe County has only 10 child psychiatrists. Given the lack of providers and high levels of risk and diagnoses, additional services and modalities are needed.
\nThe Equine Therapy Program addresses the physical, social, and emotional needs of each child and youth served by guiding participants on a journey of self-exploration and healing. We focus on client-centered and trauma-informed approaches specifically designed to enhance resilience, utilizing the EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association) model and believing participants can discover the best solutions for themselves when given the opportunity. Therapy goals combined with experiences with the horses allow participants to explore themselves, overcome challenges, and discover hidden strengths, thus giving children the support needed to develop strategies for overcoming stress and trauma.
\nStaff are trained to address all treatment needs presented by participants, including stress, anxiety, depression, autism, and ADHD. We work with youths who have difficulties connecting with themselves and others to reform those skills and establish new, positive, and long-term habits by harnessing the bond between animals and people. There is no \u201cright way\u201d to have a session; each one is different for every person. The horses\u2019 interactions with each other, participants, and the environment become a symbolic reflection of the child\u2019s needs. If they are looking for a different response from a horse, they will have to try something different, making a genuine transformation within themselves. <\/p>\n
