FAQs about the Sin Miedo Foundation

thank you for asking!

What does the Sin Miedo Foundation do?

💞 We make emotional health accesible by promoting professional services.

Our team of therapists works in cozy therapy rooms, produces educational content

and offers free services for those who can´t pay.

We do that specifically by

  • providing an enjoyable environment in our therapy center where EVERYONE feels welcome

  • offering affordable services in counseling, speech therapy, holistic therapy, equine therapy

  • granting sponsorships to those who can not afford the services

  • leading weekly therapy groups and free support groups

  • creating and sharing free educational material and content

  • supporting educational institutions with information and mentoring.

  • giving emerging therapists a professional environment to offer their services

  • mentoring emerging therapists with professional supervision

Do you still offer Equine Therapy? How does it work?

💞 Yes, we do provide regular Horse Guided Empowerment® and Holistic Equine Therapy sessions for kids with special needs, for teenagers and other clients.

Recipients may receive partial or full sponsoring for their sessions through the Foundation.

Facilitators use the paddocks and herd at a private horse farm in Quiroga that is generously made available for this service. All costs related to horses are currently donated to Sin Miedo.

We are looking for responsible, self-guided, experienced volunteers to help manage the horses (brushing, feeding, paddock cleaning, training). Please send an email to fundacionsinmiedo@gmail.com if you wish to participate.
