THRIVE
Mental Wellness Groups
THRIVE groups are weekly equine-assisted mental wellness groups designed specifically for different age groups (e.g. pre-teens, teens, young adults, etc.) who are navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or other emotional challenges. This unique program combines evidence-informed mental health practices with the healing power of horses to help teens build emotional resilience, self-awareness, healthy relationships, and coping strategies in a supportive, nature-based environment.
