In the context of this global health crisis, PsicoCaeliam has launched a pioneering initiative under the slogan 'Sanando la Sanidad' (Healing Health) in gratitude for the effort and dedication of health personnel in their fight against Covid-19. Thus, it offers free psychological and therapeutic accompaniment workshops with horses for this group.
Goals:
Promote the well-being of people through brief psychotherapy and with horses.
Priority:
Through the implementation of psychotherapeutic workshops, the group of health workers will be able to access sessions specifically programmed and designed for them with very special dynamics, in open-air environments and with horses. Sessions are always developed within the cognitive-behavioral theoretical framework, in which they will be supported to manage any trauma they might have experienced during the Covid-19 crisis.
The therapy with the horses, performed it in the open air, can be of high therapeutic impact for these professionals, because after spending hours between four walls and in 'contaminated' spaces, the feeling of freedom will give them a powerful dose of well-being.

I WANT TO HELP YOU HELP THEM
Each of our designs is inspired to collaborate with one of these causes.
The Thousand Flowers collection is intended to support social projects of the NGO ASMUN; the Animal Lovers collections support the animal shelters Refugio Canino La Reserva and Seven Lives; and the Planet Challenge collections are designed to help environmental groups such as Grupo Ecologista Mediterráneo or the Environmental Education Association El Árbol de las Piruletas .
Due to the Coronavirus crisis, we have created new lines of designs and products to provide support to the elderly through the NGO Grandes Amigos, and to health personnel through PsicoCaeliam, which offers free psychotherapeutic support to professionals who have fought on the front line of battle against the virus.
