On the surface, the problem CORRAL aims to solve seems simple: our girls have risk factors that lead them to engage in risky behaviors. These risky behaviors lead to detrimental outcomes. The CORRAL program could just focus on providing a heavy dose of protective factors to halt risky behaviors, but this strategy ignores the underlying issues. CORRAL understands that layers of trauma stemming from cycles of intergenerational trauma result in negative individual and community outcomes. We seek to address more systemic healing, rather than just treating the symptoms of this trauma.
CORRAL reverses this cycle by providing an opportunity to heal from intergenerational trauma and systemic marginalization, and to restore the broken attachment; thus providing (instead of negative outcomes) access and opportunity to develop into the young person God designed each her to be.
We envision a world free of intergenerational trauma and systemic marginalization.
We provide adolescent girls in high-risk situations a holistic program of equine therapy and education so they may gain access to a bright future.
Our organization's motivation is rooted in faith, yet we promote independent choice.
All work is done though a team approach because relationships and trust are critical in life.
Our rigorous intervention creates safety and is an important prerequisite for a change.
We are dedicated to physical, emotional and spiritual safety while encouraging risk-taking that casts off fear.
