This presentation explores how the principles and lessons learned from equine-assisted practices can be applied to support clients experiencing grief and loss, even when direct access to horses is not available. Participants will gain insight into how the unique qualities of horses—such as their sensitivity, ability to mirror emotions, and grounding presence—can inspire strategies and techniques that foster connection, mindfulness, and emotional resilience in grief work.
Key topics include the stages and manifestations of grief, practical equine-inspired activities that can be adapted for traditional office or community settings, and strategies to help clients process emotions and rebuild a sense of stability. The presentation also emphasizes the ethical responsibilities of social workers, including maintaining boundaries, obtaining informed consent, and addressing dual relationships, ensuring alignment with professional standards.
Case studies, reflective exercises, and evaluation tools will provide participants with actionable insights to enhance their work with clients in grief, even in non-equine settings. Additionally, strategies for social worker self-care are included, recognizing the emotional demands of supporting individuals in grief.
This presentation is ideal for social workers and allied professionals seeking innovative and ethically grounded approaches to supporting clients through grief and loss, using equine-inspired principles in creative and accessible ways.
