 How is your center protected when it comes to confidentiality?  It is important both legally an ethically to maintain proper confidentiality when working with our participants.  As instructors and therapists we have access to sensitive health care information such as diagnoses and medical paperwork and it is our job to protect that.  Listen in to hear how HETRA manages protected information with our volunteers, staff and others. 

We’d love to talk with you about your confidentiality policies, fill out the form here: https://www.tfaforms.com/4890916

The kind of elopement we are talking about today means to leave a caregiver’s supervision without permission or warning.  Elopement is a serious issue because elopement can put that person in a unsafe situation. In EAS specifically, this can be even more serious because of the inherent risk present in our facilities. We don’t want participants darting into an open arena with lessons happening, wandering into pens with loose horses, stalls, equipment sheds those types of things and we need to #1 bring awareness to how we are preventing access to unsafe situations, but #2 learn more about elopement and how we can help keep everyone safe if that is something we know might happen.

When we talk about building workshops to help build leadership skills or corporate skills, we first have to define “leadership”.  Jeff defines leadership in one word: influence. Think about this – if you walk a 1200 pound horse into the arena, you can’t hardly push/pull them one inch.  All you can do is exhibit influence, and that’s what leaders do.  By looking at leadership with this definition, every person has influence.  Jeff Arnold from Leadership Adventures is here to give us a TON of great advice on developing leaders as well as how to build corporate relationships and get into the world of Equine Assisted Leadership Development.

Emily Dillard has the best of both worlds.  She is a School Psychologist and the Dean of Students at Explorer Academy, a unique school that serves those in special education.  She is also a PATH Intl. Certified Instructor and associate program director for Bison Strides, an equine-assisted services program in Fargo, ND.  Her worlds collided in a very special offering in which she organized the core competencies of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and overlayed them with equine assisted learning.  SEL can be a very difficult subject to engage students in, but Emily has found the horses make it motivating and fun for the kids to learn. Listen to hear how she organized the program including staffing logistics, liability, preparation and funding for the program.
