Unbridled Change is currently running the following group programs this spring:

Wranglers

Take Back the Reins

Who's the Leader of your Herd

Farm Days/Customized Services
 

Our hands-on activities with horses can provide the missing link of traditional classroom based learning curriculums and "talk" therapy models.  Unbridled Change offers the perfect environment to put concepts such as self-confidence, anger management, teamwork, critical thinking, character development, and problem solving skills into practice.  Moving clients from frozen to implementing positive change in their lives!

We will be starting a new round of groups in late March so sign up today.  We are also continually running individual and family equine assisted psychotherapy sessions - contact us to find out more information and how to sign-up for our services. 

 Wranglers

Our "Wranglers" anger management course.  This 10 week course is designed to help children and youth address "triggers" and destructive behaviors that lead to anger outbursts and violence. 

Your child will be introduced to new skills and have the opportunity to implement them.  Example of the skills introduced are: respect, being assertive verses aggressive, problem solving/coping skills, and respecting boundaries.  Clients will gain the skills to communicate their emotions effectively and respectfully.

Take Back the Reins

Take Back the Reins is an Equine Assisted Psychotherapy group designed for victims or witnesses of domestic violence or sexual assault.  Clients in this program work on developing positive coping skills, relationship skills, and the difference between being assertive, setting healthy boundaries and being aggressive with unhealthy boundaries in life.  This group has the opportunity to add new clients every 4 weeks. 

Who's the leader of your herd?
Adult programming designed to work on sharpening relationship, communication, and boundary setting skills.  This Equine Assisted Learning course helps individuals become the leader of their herd - whether that is your family, kids, co-workers, or just your world!  The course is offered both weekly and on weekend workshops.  Contact us for weekend workshop dates.
