Animal Therapy
Raven is a seven month old Labrador who visits the centre on a regular basis to allow the children and young people the opportunity to enjoy playing, brushing and learning all about him through his own all about me folder plotting his development and experiences at the centre. Follow his story on his own page.
Studies have found that petting a dog for just 15 minutes can support in decreasing the feelings of anxiety and sadness as well as increasing physical activity while significantly reducing agitation and aggression as well as other forms of challenging behaviour.
We also have links with Huggle Farm a local care farm providing opportunities for visits and activities around various animals.
