Equine-assisted health for people with mental health conditions

Join HHRF and Henrika Jormfeldt at noon (EST) on Wednesday, January 28, 2026 as Henrika discusses three recent research projects investigating equine assisted health promoting interventions for children, youth and adults with diverse mental health issues, conducted at Halmstad University.

Henrika Jormfeldt is a professor of nursing and works at the school of Health and Welfare at Halmstad University, Halmstad, Sweden.

"Modern mental healthcare is organized based on a biomedical perspective, mainly considering mental health as the absence of psychiatric symptoms, while important positive aspects of holistic health among service users are frequently overlooked."
