Making Strides is a not-for-profit program that provides long-term mental health therapy services for some of Edmonton’s inner-city residents. It utilizes equine-assisted therapy techniques, and is a joint effort between Equinox Therapeutic and Consulting Service and Boyle Street Community Service and the Bissell Centre. This program takes place at the Whitemud Equine Learning Centre Association (WELCA); in 2015, WELCA featured this program at its annual gala.
