Description
Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) is an experiential learning approach that simultaneously engages sensory, neuromotor and cognitive systems to promote wellbeing outcomes. EAL is very different to office-based social and emotional wellbeing interventions and is particularly suited to support the wellbeing of Aboriginal young people due to its flexibility and horses non-confrontational, non-verbal, methods for feedback, and importantly, the historical ties to horses through working and living on country. The Yawardani Jan-ga (Horses helping) EAL program responds to the urgent needs of Aboriginal young people across the Kimberley. This study aims to evaluate the impact of the EAL intervention on the social and emotional wellbeing of Aboriginal young people.
