The Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) program offered by RVRR (in partnership with Cartier Farms) is designed to provide participants with opportunities to engage with horses in interactive sessions.
The goal of this program is to foster emotional growth, wellness, and physical health by facilitating development in areas such as emotion regulation, mindfulness, cognitive restructuring, relaxation, and other behavioural changes.
EAL has been academically researched and validated to improve the overall well-being of participants. It is not a substitute for conventional mental health treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Injuries (PTS) and Operational Stress Injuries (OSI).
