WELLNESS PROGRAMS FOR FRONTLINE WORKERS
Do you work in the front line helping to serve and protect the rest of us?
Or are you an organization that works to support these amazing men and women that sacrifice each day?
Whether you are a nurse, firefighter, police, EMT, military personnel or are now retired…. YOU are a WARRIOR.
But even warriors need support.
Anxiety, depression, PTSD, a decline in your mental health and trauma informed responses are all common in the line of work you do. You may be feeling overwhelmed, exhausted and helpless at the moment. Maybe this has left you feeling misunderstood and alienated from those that love you. Have you been scared to ask for help from the fear of being judged and the stigma you may feel?
What if you could step away from those thoughts and feelings if even for a moment, and step towards a space that is free of judgment and has an amazing herd of horses waiting to help.
No horse experience is necessary prior to attending our wellness programs for warriors! Whether you’re an experienced rider or have never been near a horse, your success with these wellness programs are entirely up to you. All the work is done is from the ground. This provides the best opportunity for each equine partner to teach in their natural environment. Because everyone learns in their own unique way, our program has been designed to incorporate the different styles of learning. Our programs utilize visual, auditory, verbal, physical, logical, and social tools.
WHY WORK WITH HORSES?
Acknowledging you need support can be scary, but what if that support could come from a HORSE?
We are NOT therapists and we are NOT counsellors, but what we are is passionate about helping humans connect with horses and create a partnership in our Equine Wellness program that is researched, tested and offers effective results.
Why horses? Because horses don’t judge. They live in the moment and offer us teachable moments for personal self-reflection. They can teach us about acceptance and tolerance and seeing the world through a different set of lenses. Their superior social skills are unmatched to any other animal and have allowed them to survive for millions of years.
You may be in survival mode at the moment and not knowing how you are going to get through the next day. You share a lot in common with a horse who is driven by this same instinct to survive.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? OUR HERD IS HERE WAITING TO HELP!
Our Certified Facilitators will help you learn more about yourself through partnering with our herd in objectively driven and hands on experience that will have you seeing your life different. Our herd will help you to understand your boundaries, learn how to communicate and negotiate through a situation, speak up and ask for help as well as feel supported and encouraged by a team.
WARRIOR WELLNESS PROGRAM OPTIONS:
Weekday Warrior Program
This program can have guests attending the ranch once weekly for six or eight or 12 weeks, or attend for five consecutive days. Here we will focus on essential life skills they will add to their personal tool kit for survival.
Sessions are one hour and fifteen minutes in length and will challenge each guest to step outside of their comfort zone and to think outside of the box for strategies to reach success.
The experiences they gain from the arena can then be transferred back into their everyday lives at home, in the workplace and in their personal relationships. Here the herd will help them to realize what is possible, and to think like a horse!
