Funding for the PATH Int’l ESMHL Workshop and Skills Test

Provide justification for this request.

We have started working more closely with therapists for equine facilitated mental health sessions and have just entered into two contracts with inpatient facilities to provide equine facilitated psychotherapy and equine assisted learning sessions long term on a weekly basis. Industry best practices dictate that I acquire an ES certification, and as I already am certified by PATH as a therapeutic riding instructor and work at a PATH center, PATH’s certification will support me the best at this time. The workshop and skills test will provide valuable training and resources to help provide the best services possible to our clients and keep me up to date on best practices and methods.

Provide a detailed budget.

$650 – 3 day workshop and skills test (breakfast and lunch provided)
Approx. 40 gallons of gas (685 miles, 9 gallon tank, 50 mpg)
$30-$40 – dinners for 3 nights
$100-$130 hotel per night for 3 nights (23rd-26th)

Other expected sources of support (including self-support).
