This week, I have taken a person that I support to the local farm in Hanbury, Derbyshire. I absolutely love visiting this farm because the staff members are very approachable and are happy to go out of their way to ensure that you have an enjoyable time.
I regularly take those that I support to this farm so that they have the opportunity to pat and hold the animals (If they like animals of course – I plan trips out based upon the person’s interests).
Did you know that animal assisted therapy can help reduce a person’s anxiety and stress levels? animal therapy can also improve a person’s mood, decrease depression and improve a person’s outlook on life.
