“In the Herd” educates parents about effective parenting tools illustrating the typical response of challenging youth with horses. Parents learn how to identify and modify their communication styles, and how to be good leaders through respect. They also learn how to show compassion while setting limits and boundaries, and learn appropriate and effective responses to oppositional behaviors. Parents are given the opportunity to practice these new skills in sessions with horses, gaining immediate feedback on effectiveness. This group consists of skill building and family counseling.
