The Perks Family Equine Center at Lockwood Park is providing year-round Equine Assisted Learning Activities and Psychotherapy programming, which offer valuable experiential opportunities for life skill and social emotional learning to individuals with mental health and trauma related needs. We will be serving youth and families in the community by providing new, unique, and relevant ways to complement traditional mental health treatment addressing the social, emotional, and behavioral challenges of individuals. This expansion of services for young people will provide access for those struggling with trauma, mental health, and substance abuse disorders through evidence based equine therapy and activities. The services provided at the Perks Family Equine Center harness the power of the horse to bring hope and healing to the youth served.

Participants will access services through organization and agency referrals.
