Join us on Monday, May 6 to hear from Juan Diez Rancheros co-founder, Michelle Allison. Located on the grounds of the former zoo area at Fejervary Park, Juan Diez Rancheros (JDR) is a non-profit program offering opportunities for potential breakthroughs for kids and young adults that have been abused or traumatized emotionally. Sessions are structured with the use of rescued horses, and are free of charge to those already receiving counseling due to their situation. The unique qualities of the horse allow kids to get more in touch with those tender areas in their emotions, without the guarded walls they sometimes hide behind when talking with people. Sessions are provided free of charge. Come learn more about a program that is benefiting kids and adults throughout the Quad Cities.
