Animal-Assisted Healing for Foster Youth
The Gentle Barn and Fostering UNITY unite to empower foster and systems-impacted youth through transformative, trauma-informed healing experiences. Interacting with rescued animals, participants discover resilience, empathy, and self-understanding, mirroring the animals' journey of healing and forgiveness. Through hands-on care, they cultivate essential life skills while forging a profound connection with the natural world, fostering growth, and healing within themselves.
