HOPE'S MISSION
"Hope Project STL seeks to bring Hope, Healing and Community to our Active Duty Military, Veterans, First Responders, their families and anyone who has or is currently dealing with PTSD, Abuse or any other Trauma through the use of Non-Clinical Equine Assisted Activities."
Equine Assisted Learning (EAL)
What is Equine Assisted Learning?
EAL is a hands-on, non-riding program where participants engage in experiential education with horses. This program helps both children and adults build self-confidence, establish boundaries, enhance social skills, and interpret body language. Through these interactions with horses, participants learn to navigate and cope with everyday life situations, making it especially beneficial for those dealing with traumatic events or experiences. We offer both individual and group sessions.
What are the Benefits of Equine Assisted Learning?
In Equine-Assisted Learning (EAL), the horse is the teacher. Their ability to live presently, unbiased, and honestly allows us humans to learn better communication, emotional regulation, and many other valuable skills that help us navigate the challenges of life.
