At Team Velvet, the children interact with therapy horses under the direction of licensed psychologist Dr. Susan Edwards, working toward goals of increased self-esteem and resilience. Children do not ride horses; interaction is face-to-face and communication-focused rather than riding skill focused. As therapy partners, horses offer a special combination of resources. Intelligence, physical power and keen emotional intuitiveness are some of the attributes that make a horse a good helper. While horses have been helping physically handicapped individuals for years, most applications in mental health have been within the past twenty years. Today, equine facilitated therapy is one of the fastest growing areas of mental health in the world. Team Velvet is run by volunteers and provides scholarships for children referred to the program. The organization is funded in part by grants from several foundations, the generosity and support of local businesses, service organizations and individual contributors in the greater Delaware Valley area, and various fundraising events throughout the year. For more information, go to the Team Velvet website www.teamvelvet.com Please see the flyer for more details on Team Velvet.
