Soul Health

On the other side of the spectrum from physical health, is soul health which embodies a woman’s psyche, heart and spirit, especially in the experiences of violence, trauma, and mental health challenges. Healing of the soul occurs through the promotion of resiliency, education, community resources, behavioral health services and traditional support.

In cases of Native women with mental health challenges like depression and/or anxiety, the intensity of a woman’s soul wound can interfere with and determine her ability to be health literate and/or health engaged. Reducing mental burden in the healthcare setting involves communicating better, simplifying patient roles by changing workflows and processes to accommodate women with soul wounds, and having a proactive learning health care system that works to understand the needs of the women better. Addressing cognitive burden alone will not fix all existing health literacy concerns.

Without tools to identify the most vulnerable patients, including those who may be feel stigmatized, a health care system is likely to be less inviting than it could be to those individuals. Health systems need to appreciate that a one-size fits all solution will not meet the needs of everyone. What works for some women may not necessarily work for all. Research has shown that the greatest successes in improving behavior, clinical outcomes and health literacy have come from interactive, multifaceted problem-solving-based interventions for self-management.

Equine Assisted Learning

EAL, is a form of human-equine interaction that provides a personal learning experience.
EAL promotes the development of self-awareness, self-esteem and confidence, problem solving skills, emotional regulation, and self-control. While an EAL experience is educational and beneficial
to one’s wellness, it is not considered therapy.

Please note that the EAL program is strictly a groundwork (no riding) program.
