Cherrywood Supersite Programs Go Wild
In This Issue 1 Cherrywood Supersite Programs Go Wild
2 Staff Profile Oran Park Carers Connect Since opening, the Cherrywood Supersite has provided many unique experiences and opportunities for clients who visit. There is always loads of fun to be had and wonderful life lessons to be learnt. Recently, clients have enjoyed the animal nursery, equine therapy that is facilitated by Bushbred, as well as a living skills program centred around farm living. Bushbred is a unique program that assists in developing life skills through experiential and experimental interactions with horses. Engaging and managing one’s own behaviour around horses helps us think differently and explore solutions for everyday life. Due to the success of the equine therapy program for clients at the Cherrywood Supersite, the program will be expanding further to include animal husbandry which covers topics about the day-to-day care and raising of livestock.
