We comprise of a caring, diverse, educated bunch with a love of learning to build on our skills and knowledge. We also love horses, and animals in general. We have a desire to support our clients, referrers and our community in the best possible way. Most of us come from and or live in semi-rural and rural communities. We understand the importance of confidentiality and making strong ethical decisions.  We are a neuro-affirming and inclusive team with a strong culture of collegiality.

We have an understanding of the biopsychosocial challenges in small communities and have a passion for supporting them. Many of us volunteer, outside of our work, because giving back to the community strengthens social ties and fosters a positive environment. We are passionate about finding people who fit within our team-culture and our selection process is mostly based on choosing someone who will enjoy working within our team. We want you to feel a valued team member, so at the end of the day you enjoy coming to work, feeling engaged, happy and supported.
