HEALING HEARTS ANIMAL
CARE PROGRAM
Our Healing Hearts Animal Care Program (HHACP)
is a judgement free space, for our SUPERPOWER kids to heal along side our animals while learning caregiving skills and breaking through personal developments.
​
Our superpower power friends have the opportunity to learn how to feed, clean, care for,
and build relationships with the animals and people on the ranch.
​
We pick particular animals to care for or knock out some ranch tasks that
our superpower friends are able to accomplish,
and while they are busy having fun and connecting with the animals, healing in a safe place,
and continuing our mission!
​
The Healing Hearts Animal Care Program tasks vary greatly per child.
Lyssa our HHACP coordinator works hard each week to customize each child's clipboards to include activities such as PT, OT, or even Sensory activities. Lyssa takes into consideration the information you are providing about your child to customize goals. Each child is then paired up with a big buddy to help them accomplish their goals each week.
This is a weekly Saturday Morning from 9:30-12pm required commitment.
