Studies show that stroking an animal can help lower your blood pressure and being near them can help lower anxiety and stress levels. If you’ve got a cat or a dog for example, you’ll know about the benefits having a pet can bring. They can make you laugh, bring you joy, make you exercise (if you’re a dog owner) and soothe you too.
Lyndsay from Animals Take Over has been delivering these sessions for children at Storyhouse for several years but now it’s time for adults to get involved. She will bring a variety of animals, possibly including insects and reptiles, that you will be able to handle if you wish, or you are welcome to just listen and learn.
