Equine-Assisted Occupational Therapy/Physical Therapy/Speech-Language Pathology
Overview of our programs involved with providing EAS to individuals with special needs:
• CONNECT Program: Provides individual and family EAGALA model EAP. Clients are able to use health insurance to cover the majority of the cost and scholarships are awarded for those who cannot pay. Clients are not turned away due to an inability to pay.
• A PONY Program: Provides EAGALA model psychoeducational groups to youth from local schools. Youth work on leadership, coping skills, self-esteem and positive communication.
• Office Sessions: Provides traditional talk therapy sessions out of our Pataskala location as there is a distinct lack of mental health providers in Pataskala.
• PBJ@Work: Provides corporate team building and leadership training following the EAGALA model of equine assisted learning.
• Family Coaching: Provides a six-week intervention for families wanting to improve the way their families communicate and function, using the EAGALA model.
• Wellness Workshops: Provides wellness experiences to women using horses and art. The program is operated out of the My Time Program through Mt. Carmel Hospitals. We also provide three-hour workshops to cancer survivors and their families through The James Survivorship Program as well as grief groups through Mt. Carmel Hospice, following the EAGALA model of EAP.
• On Mission: Provides a six-week equine assisted learning experience for Veterans following the EAGALA model.
• Recovery Connections: Provides EAGALA model equine assisted psychotherapy to groups receiving treatment at local substance abuse treatment facilities.
• Healthy Expressions: An expressive arts group program facilitated by a licensed Independent Social Worker. Participants are challenged to create a variety of projects targeting insight, healthy self-expression and emotional regulation, and then to process their work with a group.
• Research: PBJ Connections is partnering with The Ohio State University (OSU) to provide EAGALA model interventions to patients with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. PBJ Connections also has research in progress through The Connect Program as well as the A PONY Program in collaboration with OSU.
At a time when equestrian sports are under pressure to protect horses while making those sports more accessible, so too must all equine organizations ensure that horses are treated humanely when interacting with people with and without special needs. Our organization takes the following steps to ensure that horses are benefiting from their interactions with people:
During all of our programming, the horses are given the opportunity to choose their level of participation. Our Equine Specialists and several of our Mental Health professionals all have decades of experience with horses and are EAGALA certified. The treatment team evaluates horses willingness to participate before every session and selects horses that offer themselves to "work". At every facility we work from, we have access to numerous horses so there is a broad range of choices for which horse to include in the sessions.
Most of the time, sessions are conducted with several horses, so individual horses can decide if/when they interact with the clients. Horses are normally at liberty, and sessions are conducted in large pastures, paddocks or arenas with plenty of opportunity for horses to disengage if they desire.
We continually monitor the horses for signs of stress and immediately remove them from sessions if they display these signs. Horses who are showing signs of stress or burnout are given lengthy periods of time off, then reevaluated by treatment team members before they are used again in sessions.
All of the horses we work with have plenty of down time to just be horses. For many of them, doing EAP work is their only "job". We are aware of research that indicates horses need time away from humans, with other horses, to recover from doing EAP work and to avoid stress and burnout. We ensure all of the facilities we work with provide this opportunity for their horses.
Overview of our programs involved with providing community outreach and/or public education programs involving horses:
We host several open houses during the summer/fall and two events, one in the spring and one in December, where horses are involved. These are intended to be outreach events with some fundraising, we educate the community about mental health, our services, and our horses/donkeys.
We offer office counseling sessions when the client requests it. The county where we are located has a shortage of professional mental health services so we have started offering these office sessions to meet that need.
