Equus Ferus Receives Positive Evaluation from UK SMART Recovery

UK SMART Recovery provides free, science-based, weekly mutual-aid support for 5000 people recovering from addictive behaviours. We recently received an evaluation from UKSR for a pilot scheme we ran, and we’re incredibly pleased with the result.

Overall, the evaluation process involved:

  1. Service evaluation of a pilot intensive recovery events — equine therapy with UK SMART Recovery principles (spanning two weekends): process evaluation & participant and facilitator experiences
  2. Canvassing SMART stakeholders to examine their views on implementing intensive recovery events
  3. Share learning towards an operational model and toolkit for intensive events, allowing SMART to scale this intervention type and ensure consistency, quality, and impact measurement in the future.
