Animal Therapy
We work closely with local businesses offering bespoke animal therapy packages.
At Life Skills Hub we are reaching out to make sure we can offer unique specialist interactions to our bespoke packages. 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.
Pony therapy is a bespoke service we can offer at Life Skills Hub with a qualified Equine Therapist.
Our Pony Therapy sessions are a non-riding therapy all about helping individuals to build confidence, self-efficiency, communication, trust, perspective, social skills, impulse control, and learning about boundaries. Our equine therapy is open to all ages.
We offer animal therapy to our students, predominantly through working with therapeutic dogs and miniature ponies.
We also work closely with other partners where our Young People visit to gain real-life experience in animal care, including RSPCA, Hull & East Riding, Caring for Cats and Instinctive Horse Training.
Some of our students include horse riding in their bespoke package, and we have a veterinary nurse on our multidisciplinary team who assists with understanding the biology of animals and with Young People working towards AQAs in small animal modules.
