12 WEEKS OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT ALONGSIDE HORSES

What this program IS: 12 Weekly; 2-hour Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) sessions for Men’s and Women’s small groups for people challenged with a Substance Use Disorder (SUD). This is a ground based, no-riding Personal Development EAL program STAT Inc. has designed for your personal growth and generously funded by the State of Pennsylvania Commission for Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) to support your courage and growth in recovery. It is an adjunct recovery supportive service.

EAL sessions are strength based and resiliency focused. You will explore emotional intelligence, as you learn more about yourself based on a methodology developed by the Equine Assisted Growth And Learning Association (EAGALA). Rain or Shine, we are ready to work with you, for you. You can apply for the program scholarship while completing residential treatment or after 30 days of sobriety. *Some restrictions apply.

What this program IS NOT: a riding or horsemanship skills training, a SUD or diagnostic psychiatric evaluation, or psychotherapy processing group. Our intention is that you learn more about yourself and personal growth in recovery from horse and human team members.

Please complete the confidential and encrypted Participant Application web form below. Upon review of the application, a screening interview phone call by a STAT Staff member will be scheduled to ensure a good fit for the grant funded program.

Program Participation Restrictions This SUD EAL program does not provide services for individuals with criminality: history of cruelty to animals, court mandated services and/or anger management, violent offense(s), Megan’s Law, and currently on probation/parole.

I attest that I do not have the criminality restrictions listed above

This SUD EAL program is not an appropriate fit for individuals with: a serious persistent mental illness, a need for trauma focused psychotherapy, a need for outpatient psychiatric services for stabilization, recent psych inpatient hospitalization, a phobia of large animals, and medical related issues around large animals

None of these needs and conditions apply to me I am not sure about fit for the program but would still like to apply

We will clarify any questions during the screening interview. If not a good fit, we can give some mental health referral options for you to consider.
