This course was created to help students identify bullying behaviors, develop self-awareness, and discover meaningful solutions to conflict using Equine Assisted Learning. 

​

Primary Focus of program:

• Increase a child’s self confidence

We also offer a Bully Program for Educators – This course was approved by the State of Maryland for 15 hours of continuing education credits. 

 

This professional development program is designed to assist all individuals who interface with children at all levels and at any age who wish to explore a deeper understanding of bullying behaviors, the consequences of the behaviors and the development of useful problem solving techniques. The program is designed as an interactive, hands-on experience for participants interested in assisting students develop their own sense of self-awareness. This is a unique approach of using horses to help educators gain an awareness of bullying trends through the observation of herd dynamic. The interaction of humans with equine through purposefully designed activities will allow educators to reflect on the effectiveness of their own communication and well as identifying the needs of students that either encounter bullying or bully others.
