PAL-0-MINE EQUESTRIAN RECEIVES DONATION

FROM MARCIE MAZZOLA FOUNDATION

Islandia, New York—Pal-O-Mine Equestrian has received a $3,000 grant from the Marcie Mazzola Foundation of Commack, for its Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) Program. Pal-O-Mine provides therapeutic riding programs, such as the EAP Program, for individuals with disabilities including children and adults with mental or physical special needs and those who have been abused or neglected.

Equine assisted psychotherapy is a type of therapy that utilizes horses as part of a therapy team to facilitate learning, growth, and healing in clients. The EAP program offers individual, group, and family therapy focusing on issues including grief, trauma, abuse, eating disorders, substance abuse, and addiction. With EAP, clients are provided an emotionally safe environment to learn about their behaviors and develop positive alternatives along with increased self-esteem, improved communication skills, assertiveness, problem solving, and coping skills.

For more information about Pal-O-Mine Equestrian’s Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Program or donating to Pal-O-Mine through either donations or services, please contact Pal-O-Mine at (631) 348-1389 or visit www.pal-o-mine.org.
