Four Seasons to Sponsor 'Healing with Horses' - A Teen Grief Support Camp
/EINPresswire.com/A unique opportunity for grieving teenagers, using the assistance of horses in group therapy, will be held on two consecutive Saturdays, April 28th and May 5th. The camp, hosted at Jeter Mountain Farm in Flat Rock, NC is offered by Four Seasons with the direction and collaboration of the equine therapy team at "Horse Sense of the Carolinas" in Marshall, NC.
Camp expenses are sponsored by Four Seasons with a grant from the United Way of Henderson County. Upon arrival at camp, the teens will meet their four-legged therapists and begin exploring their individual grief issues through specially planned activities. Horse-riding skills are not required to participate in this camp.
During the two days of sharing and learning, through this established form of experiential therapy with horses, the teens will have a unique opportunity to explore their grief experiences without judgment or criticism. Together the teens will learn new coping skills for their grief journeys and gain confidence to deal with their changing worlds. The sessions are facilitated throughout both days by a trained equine specialist and therapist, and a hospice bereavement counselor.
Teens, ages 13-19, who have experienced the loss of a significant loved one, are eligible and encouraged to apply. Teens must be able to commit to both Saturdays. For more information or an application, please call the Four Seasons Bereavement Department at 692-6178, or go to our website at www.fourseasonscfl.org.
