What is animal-assisted intervention?
Throughout history, humans have enjoyed a special relationship with animals.
Partnering with animals is a unique and powerful way to foster social-emotional development. It teaches us impulsivity management, self-awareness, navigation of boundaries, self-esteem and confidence - healing us in profound ways.
