Memory Loss Workshops at Kids & Horses in Minden, NV
While our name may imply we only work with children, nothing could be further from the truth. For the past 5 years, Kids & Horses has partnered with Connected Horse to offer powerful workshops to individuals with memory loss and their care partners.
Based on research conducted at UC Davis and Stanford Universities, these workshops resulted in significant improvement in mood, increased positive perception of social support, and greater awareness and appreciation of the relationship between the person with memory loss and their care partner.
The power of the human horse connection helps participants to feel relaxed, confident and more happy in the moment. It can also teach self compassion, stress reduction strategies, communication skills and mindfulness practices.
Join Cat O'Brien and Debbie Ballew from Kids & Horses on March 26th, at 12:30pm in the Douglas County Community Center Joshua Tree room. They will provide detailed information on these amazing workshops, and how you can get involved. Healthy snacks will be provided.
Prior experience with horses is not necessary to participate in the actual workshops. Participants engage with horses from the ground; there is no riding. Participants must be ambulatory and willing to participate as a pair in the workshops. There is currently no cost to participate in the workshops, however, donations are gratefully accepted.
We hope to see you there to spread the word about this amazing program!
