St Peters Collegiate School, based in Wolverhampton undertook the HugglePetsCIC Animal Assisted Intervention Programme to help improve the wellbeing of their pupils. Having chosen the 'Anxiety and Low Mood' six week programme for their pupils, they noticed a considerable difference in the moods, behaviours and overall wellbeing of the children within a couple of weeks of attending our sessions.

Feedback from Therapist include: 

Carla appeared to feel able to talk in front of the group from the very beginning of the programme. This indicated her need to talk through her concerns and personal experiences. She benefitted from the programme as she was allowed a safe space to talk about her issues while taking comfort from our therapy animals.

Feedback from Therapist include: 

Lewis appeared to enjoy all sessions and engaged well with the activities. He particularly enjoyed interacting with the animals as that appeared to help him feel more comfortable in the group setting. Lewis benefitted from the sessions by improving his confidence, to talk about his feelings and learning useful strategies to manage his worries.
