Animal Therapy
All of our LSH Central Young People have access to animal therapies as part of their enrichment curriculum including access to our on site therapy dog, Sparkles. We also encourage our young people to look after our on site guinea pigs as part of animal care and management skills.
At Life Skills Hub we are reaching out to make sure we can offer unique specialist interactions as part of our bespoke offer.
Animal Therapy can be helpful in promoting social interaction and breaking down barriers, emotionally and in a social context.
Animals can trigger the release of endorphins, a feel-good neurotransmitter that has a calming effect and boosts the level of serotonin, a chemical linked to happiness and well-being.
Our Animal Therapy sessions are all about helping individuals to build confidence, self-efficiency, communication, trust, perspective, social skills, impulse control, and learning about boundaries.
We also work closely with other partners where our Young People visit to gain real-life experience in animal care.
