The video "Living St. Louis: Equine Therapy for the Mental Well-Being of Children" explores the growing acceptance of addressing mental health issues in children through experiential therapies, especially equine therapy. The host discusses how horses, with their intelligence and empathy, are used alongside mental health professionals to support children's emotional needs. Key concepts include mental well-being, emotional regulation, and impulse control. Renee Affholder, an equine specialist, explains how horses' instincts relate to the human experience of trauma and help build healthy relationships. Equine therapy provides children a unique, non-verbal way to express feelings and develop self-awareness. The video highlights the importance of recognizing mental health concerns early, advocating for therapy similar to physical health checkups. This video is an essential resource for parents, educators, and mental health professionals seeking innovative approaches to support children's mental well-being.
