This webinar explores how and why AAI can support emotional and social development across diverse client groups, while also examining the conditions required for these benefits to emerge. It highlights relational mechanisms, emotional processes, and environmental factors that underpin effective AAI, alongside the ethical responsibilities involved.
Rather than presenting AAI as a universal solution, the session supports professionals to make informed, evidence aware decisions about when animal involvement may be beneficial.
