Equine Assisted Learning

Clients have access to a caring person who has knowledge of Indigenous histories, teachings, and ceremonies and is available to spend time with them individually to help them heal and grow.

Clients participate in personal counselling and treatment planning where clients set goals that they want to achieve during their time with us and counsellors work with clients to help them achieve those goals. Clients also participate in group counselling and therapy activities.

During their time with us clients complete several programs related to addiction awareness, grief and loss, anger management, mental health wellness, emotional discovery, health, and recovery.

Clients are encouraged to reconnect with their cultural identity through traditional activities, ceremonies, events, and teachings.

In addition to supporting clients who are enrolled in mainstream education, our teach provides a curriculum to clients that includes ELA and Reading, Math, Science, Spelling and Grammar, Indigenous History and Studies, Traditional Medicines, and Western vs Indigenous Worldviews.

Clients regularly attend Equine Assisted Learning where horses are included in specially designed learning exercises to teach clients several skills including appropriate assertiveness, building healthy relationships, confidence & self-esteem, goal setting, leadership & team building, negotiation, respect & trust, responsibility, and self-control.

Located on the Muskoday First Nation, our transition home provides a safe space where treatment program graduates can continue to receive support in a caring, drug and alcohol-free home as they grow toward adulthood while maintaining their sobriety.
