"Reinbows is a non profit organization"
Equine Assisted Psychotherapy for At-Risk Youth Reinbows At Serenity Springs is a grass roots organization that believes there is a great need for cost effective treatment for At-Risk youth and their families as an alternative to incarceration or detention. At-Risk Youth are those youth 11 through 20 years of age detained for various offenses such as theft, the use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, domestic violence, abuse, unruly charges, behavioral issues, anger management, victimization, communication and relationship issues, gang related activities, and truancy, etc. Reinbows at Serenity Springs is serving Stark and surrounding counties including Columbiana, Carroll, Holmes, Tuscarawas, and Wayne.  Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) is the process of using horses as a catalyst for growth and learning. In EAP activities, participants learn about themselves and others by actively planning and participating in specially designed activities with horses. Participants work with a trained equine specialist and a licensed therapist to process their feelings and behavioral patterns. The Co-facilitators are accredited and certified by Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association (EAGALA), a non-profit organization, which provides guidelines of standards and ethics for the industry.
