The UAE's first-of-its-kind animal-assisted psychotherapy program has successfully completed its first phase.
The Dubai Foundation for Women and Children (DFWAC) 's implemented this in cooperation with Dubai Police, Al Marmoom Initiative, and PoshPaws Kennels and Cattery.
The program benefited 30 women and children over the course of 131 therapy sessions and produced exceptional results.
The Animal-Assisted Psychotherapy program was launched in November 2021 as a complementary or alternative therapy to traditional psychological sessions.
Trained animals are used to improve the social and psychological condition of children and adults, particularly after experiencing severe trauma or bad events like disease, bereavement, violence, or abuse.
Sheikha Saeed Al Mansoori, Acting Director General of Dubai Foundation for Women and Children said, "We are pleased to announce today that the first phase of the UAE's first-of-its-kind "Animal-Assisted Psychotherapy" program was successful.
The program was developed to fulfill the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, who underlined the necessity of guaranteeing both individual and communal satisfaction as well as promoting coherence and integration among various local entities."
She added, "It is our mission to improve the adaptability and interaction skills of children who were victims of violence and exploitation through new and innovative approaches. Hence, we launched the initiative, which aims to enhance their ability to perform their social tasks and establish healthy and positive relationships with others and those around them, in addition to improving their mood, raising their happiness, and reducing psychological stress. The results of using the Animal-Assisted Psychotherapy were very positive in treating victims of violence and exploitation."
