Devon Healing horsemanship is a registered charity that helps young people 8yrs and over, adults, and families who are find it difficult to engage with or respond to talk based support.
When talk-based provision does not work, we provide a new option: an action-based Equine assisted programme with impressive evidence of Effectiveness.
Most of the people who come to us have a range of problems including social exclusion, offending, victims of violence, anxiety, depression, self-harm, addiction, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD ), domestic abuse, difficulties with school or challenging family dynamics, these are just some examples we can help with many more.
Our programmes train people to recognise and manage anxiety or dominance which has been causing them to become disengaged, disorganised, shut down or aggressive.
We specifically target those who are hardest to reach; people who are unable or unwilling to participate in conventional ‘talk based’ therapies and therefore do not engage in other available provisions. Instead, we teach a behavioural change programme based on natural horsemanship principles, transferring successful behavioural training techniques for horses into the human world.
Our goal is to develop emotional, thinking skills and patterns of positive behaviour. Participants learn that they can only successfully instruct the horse if their communication is calm, clear, assertive and focused.
We encourage people who have experienced mental health challenges to join us through membership, events, online forums and more… as much or as little as they wish. We work with organisations across Devon at all levels, supporting them to work co-productively with people who have lived experience of mental health recovery.
