Building a Community of Healing with Mustang Recovery Challenge | Episode 36
Description
In this episode, we sit down with the team behind The Mustang Recovery Challenge, a transformative nonprofit that blends substance use prevention and mental health support through the powerful connection between people and wild horses.
The Mustang Recovery Challenge offers participants a unique path to recovery, using heart-rate synchronization and trust-building techniques to train mustangs. This process helps participants develop emotional regulation, stress management, and resilience—skills they can carry with them on their recovery journey and beyond. With the guidance of credentialed counselors, a licensed psychologist, and experienced horse trainers, the program focuses on rebuilding interpersonal relationships, boosting self-esteem, and reducing the risk of relapse.
We'll dive into how working with these incredible animals fosters personal growth, instills a renewed sense of purpose, and provides practical life skills. Plus, we explore how the program creates a ripple effect of healing, as graduates return to mentor new participants, ensuring a continuous cycle of support for the community.
Tune in to learn more about how this innovative program is changing lives, one Mustang at a time.
