Therapaws NE brings comfort, connection and healing to the North East through the power of Animal Assisted Interventions (AAI).
(AAI is an intervention that intentionally include an animal as part of the therapeutic process. It is commonly used in health, education, and across human services.
AAI comes in all shapes and sizes so each session is adapted to the individual clients requirements.
Benefits of AAI include:
• Reduces blood pressure.
• Increase oxytocin to reduce the effects and risks of depression and anxiety.
• Improves joint movement and physical fitness.
• Helps with assisted or independent movements.
• Improves verbal communication.
• Increases self-esteem.
• Reduces stress & anxiety.
• Develop social skills.
• Increases social interactions.
• Helps develop motor skills.
• Increase productivity.
• Increase dopamine levels which benefits a persons mood, behaviour, attention and learning.
• Lower PTSD symptom severity.
• Grief support.
Different Establishments benefit from animal therapy in different ways in addition to the above:
Schools - increase learning, behavioural and reading skills.
Universities - wellbeing and homesickness.
Businesses - reduction in absences and can help with occupational health.
Hospitals / Hospice - provide comfort to patients, staff and families. Can be helpful in preparing patients for tests or procedures and pain soothing perception for the patients.
Residential care homes - Agitation, anxiety, depression and loneliness can be helped in those with dementia. Studies show a significant reduction in daytime behavioural disturbances.
Prisons - improve interactions between staff & reduce self-harm and suicide.
