Interspiritual Equine-Assisted Learning (IEAL)

Our Horses for Peace (H4P) program provides a safe, compassionate environment for the development of interspiritual understanding through equine-assisted learning (EAL).

It is especially committed to making a profound difference in the lives of those displaced or otherwise affected by war, and is based upon a philosophy of compassion and respect for people of all faith traditions. 

What do we do?

We use horses temperamentally-suited to gentle human/horse interaction to provide a safe, nurturing environment in which people of different faith traditions can interact with them, either one-on-one, or in small interspiritual groups.

All interactions take place with a certified EAL horse professional and an ordained minister present.

If you or someone you know is experiencing mental health challenges, we can work with you to create the life you want to live. At Hill Country MHDD Centers, we provide compassionate care that offers people hope, healing, and recovery.

• Counseling - Cognitive behavioral therapy focused on reducing or eliminating symptoms of emotional issues and improving daily living.

Serving the First Responder Community

It is not uncommon for emergency responders to share strong, family-like bonds. Due to the nature of their occupations, they often have experiences that only their peers can relate to.

At Starlite Recovery Center, our team features former first responders who provide an authentic source of support and empathy for the patients in our Harbor of Hope program.  

We understand that many members of the emergency response community have endured events that have negatively impacted their lives. For this reason, we proudly offer residential programming that addresses the unique needs of this population.

Ways we help include: filling out paperwork, providing community resources, giving emotional support, and ensuring that no one goes through the process alone.

A protection order is an order used by a court to protect a person, business, company, establishment, or entity, and the general public, in a situation involving alleged domestic violence, assault, harassment, stalking, or sexual assault.

Intimate partner violence is about power and control. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.

A protection order is an official legal document signed by a judge that orders the abuser to stop abusing or threatening you and/or your children. It can also include other types of relief such as child support, custody, visitation and payment of debts.

The abuser may be ordered to stay away from your home, school or place of employment. You have the right to file for a protection order if someone has abused you within the past six months (180 days) OR if they abuse or threaten to abuse any person under 18 years old now or in the future.

In addition, there are several reasons why it might not be safe for you to return home after obtaining an emergency protective order including but not limited to threats made against pets and property damage done at your residence during previous incidents of violence between yourself and the abuser.

Talking to family, friends, coworkers can is part of our social norm. To feel the support of a sympathetic listener helps us feel cared for and connected. Programs at church, Alcoholic’s Anonymous or other self-help groups can be incredibly helpful in addressing problems.

However, there are times when you need more than advice from a good friend, mutual support from family or a caring shoulder of a good listener. However, when these ways of coping don’t work, it may be time to seek professional help.

But you know you need professional help when nothing has worked, when you feel depressed, anxious or agitated, when you are unable to carry out your obligations and you are unable to function in your normal way. Seeking an experienced professional who is licensed and credentialed is of paramount importance.

Our Counseling service offers full courses of psychotherapy and counseling to children, adults, and their families with a broad range of treatment needs.

When specialty behavioral health care is no longer needed, patients may benefit from periodic visits with their primary care clinic’s integrated behavioral health provider to assist with maintaining gains and preventing relapse.

Our staff is comprised of therapists with broad training in evidence-based therapies.
