Latest Achievements
Social Work Lecturer Holly Scaglione recently partnered with Redwood Equine Partners and Healing Strides Psychotherapy, Inc. to offer an equine-assisted growth and learning demonstration at Redwood Acres. Social work students, staff and faculty attended the demonstration.
“Attendees learned from professionals in the field what it is like to do this work and how it is effective for clients (individuals, couples, families, and groups) seeking change in their life," said Holly. "The event was a great success for all involved, including the horses!”
EAGL incorporates horses experientially for emotional growth and learning. It is a collaborative effort between facilitators, clients, and horses to address personal or treatment goals. Participants learn about themselves and others by engaging in activities with the horses, and then processing or discussing feelings, behaviors, and patterns. The approach has been compared to ropes courses used by therapists, treatment facilities, and human development courses.
