Grief & loss camps for teens One size does not fit all and traditional therapeutic intervention does not work for some children and MANY teens. Equine assisted therapy can be the tool that helps a child or teen begin to progress through the stages of mourning without having it “feel” like therapy. This type of therapy has been used for decades but has recently gained popularity because of its ability to provide effective opportunities by helping clients overcome psychological obstacles.
Our ImpactGrieving someone close is a painful and stressful life event. It is experienced in many ways. Shock, anger, sadness, and guilt are common feelings during the grieving process. It can become overwhelming. Occasionally there are no emotions: there is only numbness. Some people find it difficult to cope with their loss. They believe they’ll never be happy again. By working with the horses, they learn to feel grief in a way in which they can still function in daily life and include joy.
