Zoo Therapy That Helps Recovery
🙏💙💛 War wounds both bodies and souls. That is why, in these extraordinary times, a variety of therapeutic and psychological approaches to recovery are needed more than ever.
☝️🐾 Zoo therapy is one of the effective approaches to psycho-emotional rehabilitation. Kyiv Zoo specialists have unique experience and expertise in this field.
🤝🏥 This time, Mark Damen, a mentor with the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA), joined our zoo therapy team during a visit to the National Research Center for Radiation Medicine, Hematology and Oncology.
🐓🦡🐁🐍 As always, our animal assistants brought warmth to the hearts of the participants, connecting with each person in their own way. According to doctors, this kind of emotional relief is an important part of patients’ recovery.
💚🌍 We will continue this important work and are ready to share our experience with our European colleagues 🇪🇺
