Guinea Pig therapy pets

June 14, 2008

Meet the guinea girls (names to be decided by our child therapy clients),

Guinea Pig, therapy Pets

Guinea Pigs used for child therapy

They began their probationary employment as therapy pets for the Imaginif practice this morning.

Talk doctor Rebekah Allen will be in charge of supervising the pet therapy while Imaginif director, Megan Bayliss, will direct where the hutch is placed each evening and what delicacies the girls can pig out on. The two girls themselves (a pair of little pigs, I’ll have you know) will be in charge of delivering attachment and socialisation skills, empathy, nurturing and grounded focus for children quick to dissociate.

Welcome to Imaginif girls.

Thank you to young male child and his Mum, Tracey, for allowing the guinea pigs to become therapy pets who will help the child clients at Imaginif.

    Our kids are lobbying for guinea pigs as we speak. We are currently resisting. ;)

Got something to say about the above post or child safety in general?
