Testimonials

Gabrielle Ang

Residential Education Director of Saraca Hall

Collaborating with CHAC on animal therapy events has always been a blast for us: their professionalism and ability to handle both humans and animals is admirable, and their programmes provide much-needed respite for our resident student population, while also teaching students how to handle animals properly and inculcating empathy and kindness towards creatures that live among us.

Kamaria

Programme Coordinato & Pertapis Senior Citizens' Fellowship Home (PSCFH)

The session was fun and filled with laughter, the interactions with the Guinea Pig are a kickstart to get the seniors going. Looking forward to more sessions. It is really a heartwarming experience.

Ernst

Committee member & grassroots organisation

Engaging in CHAC's mindfulness activity with dogs was a transformative experience for our youth community.

Beyond the tranquil moments, participants discovered healthy love languages with their friends and family through unconditional canine companionship.

This innovative approach nurtured empathy, effective communication, and self-care amongst our youth. The program beautifully intertwined mindfulness with fostering positive relationships, leaving an enduring impression of emotional well-being and compassion.
