Mane Support is located in Blount County with services
offered to all surrounding counties.
Mane Support is an equine
assisted grief counseling program especially designed to
address the needs of those who have experienced a death,
anticipating the death of someone they know or who have
experienced other types of trauma. All of the activities
are conducted on the ground, there is no riding.
There are 4 week
groups for children, youth and teens, in addition to adult
groups. Each group is developed for specific needs:
bereavement (following a death), anticipatory grief (prior
to a death), breast cancer survivors and other types of
traumatic loss. In addition to
individual and group sessions, Mane Support also offers
community education, volunteer training, and corporate team
building seminars.
As a nonprofit/501(c)3
organization, Mane Support receives funding for our programs
from grants and private donors. The assigned fee per
session is $45.00 per hour. It is the goal of this company
that no one be turned away due to financial difficulty,
therefore we depend on our resources to ensure that
children, families and organizations receive the support
that they need.
