Proudly supporting youth, veterans & animals!
What We Do
Since 1999, Animals as Natural Therapy (ANT) has offered animal-guided mental & behavioral health programs for youth, veterans, families, & elders. Our work is based on the knowledge that animals can teach important life skills such as respect for self & others, healthy boundaries, self-management, empathy, and clear communication. Our approach utilizes EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth & Learning), PATH (Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship), and EAP (Equine Assisted Psychotherapy) techniques to uniquely address a variety of participant needs, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and PTSD.
Programs include:
– Quarterly Group & Individual Youth Sessions (ages 8-18)
– Year-Round Group & Individual Veteran Sessions
– School Partnerships
– Summer Day Camp
– Mobile ANT ~ therapy animal visits to seniors, schools, & community/corporate events
– Young Adult & Adult Workshops
– New Horizons ~ partnership with Seamar Visions to support teens in drug & alcohol recovery
Our animal partners:
– Horses
– Miniature Horse
– Miniature Mule
– Goats
– Rabbits
– Chickens
– Dogs
