If you are passionate about animals, and passionate about exploring different ways to support people, then this is the ideal combination of your passions. The course is suitable for anyone over 18, who loves animals. This course is also the Introduction course which is a pre-requisite to the other courses Elysian provide.

What will you learn?

The course will be held at an Animal Assisted Therapy farm, and participants will experience each of the animals as part of learning the benefits they serve in various interventions with children and adults with different needs. This introductory course allows participants to explore and experience a taster of its benefits, while also learning about the history, research and theory that underpins AAI.
