About AAA
Animal-Assisted Activities (AAA) offer a unique and effective approach to improve our clients' well-being by getting them involved in activities with animals. These animals may include dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and more. Each animal has its own unique way of helping individuals, ensuring a tailored experience based on their specific needs.
The presence of animals in therapy provides valuable non-human companionship and support. Extensive research has shown that animals' non-judgmental nature allows individuals to express their emotions and thoughts freely. Animal-assisted activities create a safe environment where participants feel comfortable opening up and engaging in introspection. These programs can be implemented in a variety of settings, including hospitals, schools, therapy centers, offices, and nursing homes.
