Teen Anxiety and Wellbeing School Holiday Program

Carolyn from Titahi Bay

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.

Dates: Wednesday 17 July and Thursday 18th July
Times: 9.30am - 1.30pm both days
Location: Herd By Horses, 593 Waikawa Beach Road, Levin
Contact: Kelly Henry Equine Specialist 027 6353537 or Carolyn Brown Counsellor 021 09190033
To book please email us herdbyhorsesnz@gmail.com

What to bring: Warm and waterproof clothes, covered shoes, water bottle and food, an open mind. Mobile phone use will not be allowed during the session time.
