🛑 🙊 CO-REGULATION AND ACTIVE LISTENING 🙏 🧘
Horses have unwittingly been a huge part of my self care routine for over 50 years. When you listen, they are so brilliant at helping to fine tune your ability to read non verbal cues. Co-regulation and active listening are themes that run through all Equi-Scotia CIC workshops, including online First Aid for Mental Health training.
📢 LIMITED SPACES AVAILABLE on
SQA accredited First Aid for Mental Health Certificate running online 24 & 25th September 6.00-9.00pm. See comments for booking link.
Thanks as ever to David Ho, Hamish, and Borders Group of Riding for the Disabled!
