Optimal Terminology for Equine-assisted Services

Presented by:

Kathy Alm CEO Path Intl, Lynn Thomas, Co-founder and former CEO of Eagala, Horses for Mental Health (HMH), Arenas for Change (ARCH) and Debbie Anderson, CTRI, ESMHL, HorseWork Master, Founder at Strides to Success

Description

Professionals including horses in their professional practices will learn the latest in uniform terminology for equine assisted interventions. The authors previously completed a national review for the purposes: (1) to recommend the adoption of optimal terminology for referring to services in the US that incorporate horses and other equines to benefit people, and (2) the discontinuation of especially problematic terminology in order to enhance the professionalism and viability of specific identified services. It is also hoped that improved precision and clarity in terminology for naming specific services will advance their future scientific development and reliable measurement of effectiveness.
