HACKENSACK, N.J., July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- High demand for mental health
services introduces therapeutic services for high school students
Hackensack, N.J.- July 20, 2024- AspireNJ, a mental health services
company has launched Healing Hooves- a therapeutic mental health
camp for high school students. From Equine therapy to yoga fitness
and art therapy, creative expression classes and Focus Friday,
AspireNJ is meeting both the social and emotional needs of young
female students . Through daily activities, the girls are bonding,
collaborating and discovering self-love and how best to work with
others.
AspireNJ is one of the first of its kind (in the area) to
introduce and deliver therapy services reaching beyond the
traditional brick and mortar. The 5-week wellness program includes
a full scope of therapeutic activities. The inception of the
program was developed from a need to encourage personal wellbeing.
The program aims to empower students to become more self-aware and
resilient. AspireNJ's hope is that a combination of these
activities will continue to provide healing services for both
students and families, promoting a healthy home and school culture,
which will ultimately help to transform their adult lives.
Based on the critical need for mental health services for youth,
AspireNJ intends to make a difference in the lives of high school
students in New Jersey, tapping
into the dire need for mental health services. "The percent of
teens coming to emergency room with suicidal thoughts rose by more
than 10% in 2021 and again in 2022, heightened by the isolation of
the pandemic", New Jersey hospital
networks reported last year (nj.com). It's staggering statistics
like these that drive AspireNJ to do the work that they do.
"AspireNJ's therapy program has significantly enhanced the lives
of NBOE (Newark Board of
Education) high school students. Through the healing mechanisms of
equestrian therapy, students have developed improved communication
and articulation of emotions, fostering personal growth and
emotional well-being," said Newark
Board of Education Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Maria Ortiz.
