Spirit Reins

Spirit Reins works alongside kids and families torn apart by abuse and other trauma to ensure they grow into healthy and productive members of our community.

The outpouring of love and support I've received since we announced the closing of Spirit Reins has been humbling. We will be dividing up our remaining assets between two wonderful organizations, Phoenix Center and HorseLink...

Dear supporters, donors, and friends...we have made the difficult (and hopeful) decision to close Spirit Reins on March 4, 2022. The mission and memory of Spirit Reins will live on forever in our hearts. We invite you to read the full letter here: https://t.co/tjo6aNKaAu

Engaging parents and caregivers in their child's healing allows them to heal their own hurts, acquire the skills and confidence to better support their child at home, and build resilience for the future. By engaging the entire family, we hope to heal generations!

As school starts back after the holiday break, we want to wish all educators and students a wonderful new year and a successful semester!

Nature, and especially horses, invite us into our own authenticity—that is, to be ourselves entirely—by offering a safe, open space and healing presence. Within this authenticity, our clients learn how to set boundaries, maintain healthy relationships, and tell their story.

While the effects of trauma are not always visible, the body feels them all the same. Experiential approaches like equine therapy, art therapy, and play therapy help children, not only process past hurts as they remember them...but also as they felt them.

Horses bring the power of their presence and the power of the present in the healing work we do at Spirit Reins. Truly amazing therapy partners 🐴❤️

Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the U.S.—43.8 million—experiences mental illness in a given year. And 1 in 5 children, ages 13-18 live with a mental health condition. #MentalHealthAwarnessMonth

"With so much pain in the classroom, educators should be mindful that traumatic life experiences can sometimes emerge as behaviors that we might otherwise label as challenging." -Alex Shevrin Venet

Our mission is to heal children and families who have been impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). However, like many other agencies, we believe that "when communities come together, they can do so much to prevent ACEs." Learn more: https://t.co/qxWYfrHPNl

The herd is lining up for the most important meal of the day! After a restful weekend, our equine partners are ready for this week 🐴😊 #MondayMornings #BreakfastClub #EquineAssistedPsychotherapy

I spy with my little eye, ten sleepy horses and one cute donkey! The herd is easing into this week with plenty of naps 😊
