How horses are healing childhood trauma | Pressure and Release
Рет қаралды 13,428
Ай бұрынThe Kimberley region of Western Australia is a beautiful place. But it is home to communities in crisis - devastated by a pattern of suicides among young Aboriginal people. A glimmer of hope emerges in the form of Prof Juli Coffin, a Nyangumarta woman and mental-health professional who enlists her herd of horses to create deeply felt connections between animal and human. Prof Coffin's programme uses a culturally appropriate setting to support long-term healing for some of Australia's most vulnerable young people.

Since 1988 I have had a 4-H club that connects kids and horses on the last horse property in our town and area We run a small stable on donations and volunteers. We believe that having kids work with and Enjoy horses through a relationship of Respect and Trust in a safe environment creates an opportunity for healing to take place. 🐎❤️🐎

I have taken part in equine therapy for PTSD, it was such a lovely experience I felt so connected to the horse we were breathing each others breath. It teaches boundaries, control and gives a sense of power back to those who feel powerless. I will never forget it.

such a wonderful thing, and to see the looks on their faces when they are around the animals.

I’m so glad the children have access to equine therapy. I wish all those who need it could get it.

Why not support all suicidal youngsters in the region? Not just one group.

If there are abnormally high rates in one group then they would have priority
