How are EAP and EAL different from other horse therapy programs?
We provide mental health treatment and personal growth and educational services, not physical therapy. Our activities occur 100% on the ground, while interacting with our horses through unique experiential activities. Reins of Change employs only experienced, highly trained and licensed mental health professionals. Our equine specialists are experts in horse behavior and have mental health education as well. We develop individualized programs for our clients, including private groups and organizations. Reins of Change maintains the highest level of confidentiality and privacy. We are proud to be the only group in Illinois to have staff who hold Basic and/or Advanced Certifications through EAGALA, the Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (www.eagala.org). We offer educational programs for students and professionals who want to learn more about EAGALA Model, EAP and EAL. Now offering two locations and a mobile program to better serve our community needs!
