Organising animal-assisted activities to help adolescents enhance self-image and develop healthy relationships with others

 

 

By organising animal-assisted activities (AAA), the venture aims to provide a trustworthy and non-judgmental environment that helps adolescents relieve loneliness, improve non-verbal communication skills, appreciate themselves, gain a sense of accomplishment and enhance self-image. Adolescents can learn to develop healthy relationships with others and get better prepared for further connections with others. The venture also aims to enhance the public’s awareness of the mental well-being of adolescents.

The venture will collaborate with non-profit organisations and schools to organise activities for promotion. It also plans to cooperate with the media to attain greater publicity.
