The Heard Therapy is deeply committed to nurturing the well-being of our local youth. We are fortunate to collaborate with EquiScholars, led by Kate Blackmore, the programme's founder and a valued friend of The Heard Therapy CIC.
“EquiScholars is a unique, activities based educational program that teaches children and young adults to better understand equine behaviour”
Equine-Assisted Learning (EquiScholars)
The Therapy Based Learning with EquiScholars project offers therapeutic learning course that blends an engaging educational curriculum with professional therapy. This innovative approach aims to support young individuals not only in acquiring new skills but also in optimising their learning potential by integrating therapy models and techniques to cultivate a stabilising and secure environment.
The curriculum revolves around equine behaviour, emotional regulation, safety practices, mindfulness exercises, creative learning, problem-solving techniques, self-awareness, resilience building, and more. This comprehensive approach caters to any young person seeking a distinctive method of learning and/or overcoming personal challenges or trauma.
At The Heard Therapy, inclusivity is our guiding principle. We strive to establish a space of acceptance and validation for all individuals who choose to join us.
