An individual with a broad range of life skills is more resilient than one with fewer skills. They can better withstand the challenges of constant change, successfully coping with stress and creating a fulfilling life. The aim of this research is to theoretically substantiate the possible benefits of equine-partnered gestalt coaching in life skills learning. Both Gestalt coaching and horses –specifically in context of different methods incorporated in equine assisted activities –are mentioned as they relate to the improvement of various aspects of quality of life based in life skills learning.12220741enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess5.1 Psychology5.3 Educational sciences3.1.
