Youth Programs
Please read the 'Overview' and 'Why Horses' pages to learn how and why our program works.
Youth sessions can be designed to address a range of life skills which lead to a stronger sense of self, such as:
Communication, both verbal and non verbal
Healthy Boundaries
Problem solving
Goal setting
Objective evaluation of emotions and feelings
Effective interventions for challenging situations
Self Esteem Building
Empathetic Awareness
As well as interventions for specific issues. such as:
Suicide Prevention
Eating Disorders
Addiction
We also offer sessions to specific target groups such as young women, men, children of military families, sibling of children with autism, etc.
Please inquire for your group or individual for dates. Weekend days are available.
Private psychotherapy sessions are available as necessary.

Children Learn What They Live
If a child lives with criticism,
he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility,
he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule,
he learns to feel shy.
If a child lives with shame,
he learns to feel guilty.
If a child lives with tolerance,
he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement,
he learns confidence.
If a child lives with praise,
he learns to appreciate.
If a child lives with fairness,
he learns justice.
If a child lives with security,
he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval,
he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
he learns to find love in the world.

Donations needed to fund our youth programs!
Most of our youth programs are provided to groups from non profit organizations. This model is highly effective for teens and all children in challenging situations! We rely on private donations and grants to help us reach as many young people as possible. It is through them that we will help to create a better world!
