Nurses worldwide are experiencing underappreciation, poor job satisfaction, anger, burnout, poor work-life balance, physical and mental exhaustion, violence, and poor self-care. A 2020 Canadian study (pre Covid-19) showed:

63.2 % of nurses experience symptoms of burnout

33 % have contemplated suicide

23 % screened positive for PTSD

  Nurses need to develop skills to manage these unique stressors. You and your horses can help nurses develop self-compassion, inspiration, connection, and support

Learn how to run a one-day equine-facilitated professional development program to support nurses. In this course, you will dive into the nursing profession and learn what nurses do, and how what they do impacts them. It's a lot more than bedpans and giving pills!

You will learn 7  practical tools nurses can start using their very next shift, all through the help of your horses.

Course content includes detailed interactive exercises with horses, reflective questions, a complete course syllabus, and detailed exercises. You can use it as is or adapt it to your current program. Topics covered include present-moment awareness, care and connection, and boundaries.

Easily integrate this educational experience into your existing program, no matter your EFL training. This is a great program for those just starting in equine-facilitated learning.

Just as horses are worldwide, so are nurses. Nurses are an impressive group to work with. Nurses are traditionally under-supported in the Equine Facilitated Learning/ Wellness/Therapy world. We need to change this!

This course also works well with those in the helping professions such as occupational therapists, social workers, physiotherapists, nursing assistants, respiratory therapists, and anyone else in the helping professions.

Please note this is not a "Certification" course in equine facilitated learning.
