Teen Anxiety and Wellbeing School Holiday Program
Does your teenager suffer from anxiety?
Are they Year 9-13?
Are they willing to accept counselling support in a unique, experiential setting with horses?
Will they be happy working in a group setting with 3 other people plus two facilitators and horses? No horse riding is involved, all activities are ground-based.
If the answers are YES then read on.
We are offering a 2 day program in the school holidays, fully funded by Gumboot Friday, to help teenagers with strategies for coping with anxiety. We also use strength-based activities to build up confidence, self-esteem and well-being.
Gumboot Friday funding criteria:
* the young person must be on a waiting list for mental health support OR they don't meet criteria for other funding.
* they aren't receiving any other mental health support currently.
* they have not used Gumboot Friday funding in the past.
