Kate's Kitchen offers a safe and friendly place, a hot meal and a listening ear. Its vision is to alleviate social isolation, poverty, their causes and consequences within our community and, in so doing, recognise the value of EVERY individual. However, not everything is plain sailing, so when funding was available to work with ChangeWays to help deepen the level of reflection within the group, respect and care for each other, Ruth Forrest, Group Facilitator at Kate's Kitchen jumped at the chance to work with the horses.

Listen to the fascinating story of how the partnership between ChangeWays and Kate's Kitchen has had a lasting positive effect on the group dynamics.

Coral Harrison owns ChangeWays, an organisation that offers therapy with horses in Scotland and Cumbria. In this episode Coral and Eva talk about why children and adolescents might need therapy, how equine assisted psychotherapy can help and understand a little bit about how overwhelming events create stress in our brains and bodies. Equine assisted psychotherapy supports children and young people to gain confidence, build trust and why this is so important in any relationships and understand how their behaviour influences others. In subsequent podcasts Coral and Eva will explore more around therapy with horses. It is a journey of discovery to show what goes on during therapy sessions, what the Eagala Model is which is the foundation for this therapy, as well as hearing how this therapy has helped people - young and old.
