Lockwood Park will be providing year-round Equine Assisted Learning Activities and Psychotherapy programming which will offer valuable experiential opportunities for life skill and social emotional learning to individuals with mental health and trauma related needs. As the facility and the corresponding programming are brought to the area, it 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 work that will be done at the Perks Family Equine Center will harness the power of the horse to bring hope and healing to the youth served

Participants will access services through organization and agency referrals.
