Medicine Horse and Weld County 4-H have partnered to create two 4-week support groups for 4-H teens and youth. In these groups, participants will work with our horse herd to learn how to identify, express, and regulate their emotions in a supportive environment. They’ll practice safe ways to connect with themselves, others, and the world, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Through mindfulness, skill development, and relationship building, youth will explore their boundaries, personal awareness, and relationship patterns in a safe, unique setting with horses.
