AAI (Animal-Assisted Interventions)

Animal-Assisted Interventions (AAI) refer to therapeutic activities that involve animals to improve a person's physical, emotional, or social well-being. These interventions can take many forms, such as therapy with trained animals like dogs or horses, which help people cope with various challenges, including mental health issues, stress, or developmental disorders. The presence of animals can provide comfort, reduce anxiety, and promote social interaction. AAI is used in various settings, including hospitals, schools, and rehabilitation centers, illustrating the beneficial bond between humans and animals in enhancing quality of life.
