For some persons with intellectual disability, anxiety can show up in many ways: restlessness, pacing, frequent worrying, or difficulty coping with unfamiliar situations.
Through Animal Assisted Therapy sessions with horses, clients from MINDS Regional Hub (Queenstown) and Community Hub (Tampines East) were given space to slow down, connect, and feel safe. 🐴💙
From grooming and feeding to guided activities and walks, these quiet moments encouraged emotional regulation, social interaction, and mindfulness in a calm and supportive environment.
In partnership with EQUAL-ARK and THERIS, the programme explored how meaningful interactions with therapy animals can support the emotional wellbeing of persons with intellectual disability, one gentle step at a time.
