In the role of a Horses Helping Humans™ Facilitator you are assisting Youth workers, Social workers, Youth Justice Case workers and Family services with some tools of awareness. These are skills they can take on and continue to use within their future counselling sessions with youth clients. Most young people attend with their case workers.

​

This program is not a counselling service or equine therapy. It is specifically designed to teach communication skills and body language awareness using personality profiling. Each horsemanship skill we teach has a psychological base which introduces students to techniques for focusing, lowering anger and anxiety and developing an awareness of human to human communication which they can use for the rest of their lives.

​

Understanding the differences in each personality type and learning to read body language gives participants the life skills to notice when others are becoming reactive. Learning the skill of diffusing is one of the many skills taught through the program that youth workers identify as having a big impact on their participants’ outcomes.
