Healing Hooves – Bluegrass Care Navigators

Eric Burke sits down with Holly Bender and Lauren Coons to talk about Bluegrass Care Navigators upcoming camp that aims to help children who have suffered a loss.

Hospice of the Bluegrass, now Bluegrass Care Navigators, and Central Kentucky Riding for HOPE are joining forces June 10-11 to facilitate the bereavement program, Healing Hooves. The retreat incorporates the use of horses to help facilitate the grieving process for Kentucky children and teenagers ages 6 to 17 who have experienced the death of a loved one.

Healing Hooves is a daytime retreat that combines Hospice Bereavement Counselors, PATH International Certified Equine Specialists and horses to assist children with the healing process and help promote healthy coping skills. Retreat participants are taught strategies to express their grief, reduce stress and isolation, and connect with others who have lost a loved one.

The camp will take place at the Kentucky Horse Park.
