Business Statement Animal Assisted Child Led Play Therapy Social Groups and 1:1 support can offer a unique and impactful approach to helping children navigate their emotions, build social skills, and develop resilience. These settings provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can express themselves freely through play, which is a natural and effective way for them to communicate and process their experiences. The presence of a therapy dog can create a calming and non-judgmental atmosphere, which helps children feel safe and supported as they express their emotions through play. The nurturing bond formed with the therapy dog can boost self-esteem and confidence, making children more willing to engage in the therapeutic process. Overall, play therapy with a therapy dog combines the healing power of play with the comfort and companionship of an animal, providing a holistic approach to emotional and behavioural healing.
