Our Charity – Healing Through Horses

Wendy Elrick Counselling Services subsidizes the equine-assisted therapy program 'Healing Through Horses', which is administered by the Vernon Women’s Transition House.

Wendy Elrick

The goal of 'Healing Through Horses' is to generate funds for those in need of effective counselling support, and whose therapy of choice is equine assisted therapy. Subsidized counselling is offered to women and children with limited financial resources. Presently, the focus of our program is on trauma recovery for women and children affected by domestic violence situations.

 

We run three equine-assisted therapy groups a year, and in the winter we offer a traditional assertiveness course.

For those interested in supporting 'Healing Through Horses' by offering sponsorship, or donations, or for those wanting more information on the program please contact:
