HSBC AAT

The Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) program uses volunteers and their companion animals to provide social therapy to comfort children and adults with special needs or those experiencing life’s stresses.  The benefit of using pets is that animals, in general, and companion animals more commonly, are regarded by many as “man’s best friend.”  Animals provide people with unconditional love and non-judgmental acceptance and companionship.  They serve as catalysts for social interaction and as bridges to interpersonal communication and attachment.  It’s no wonder people love their pets so much!
