Findigs
A multilingual, accessible online hub offers resources, training materials, and research findings to ensure long-term sustainability.
Why Animal-Assisted Interventions?
Research proves that interactions with animals such as horses and donkeys create a safe, non-judgmental environment for emotional healing. By fostering embodied education—a process where participants learn to recognize and process emotions—these interventions promote:
Stress management
A sense of belonging
Emotional regulation
Social skill development
