Animal Therapy

The human - animal bond can help:

  • reduce boredom

  • increase movement and activity through play

  • increase social interactions

  • improve mood and general well-being

  • supports learning limits, communication, and problem solving

The positive interactions with an animal may lead to benefits in the mind and body, such as reduced stress and an overall more balanced mental and emotional state.

Animal therapy partially uses this

bond in a directed way to achieve

the goals of the therapy.
