Yes, we held an awareness day yesterday at HQ for mental health week and one of our guests was pet therapy; it went down very well.....and instantly put a smile on everyone’s face! I am looking into how best to implement this on a regular basis as part of a well-being calendar of events, along with other de stressor initiatives.

The attached has been published by the RCN this week and could be useful to help policy development etc. I am certainly seeing more therapy animals in schools and generally in offices when staff bring their dogs to work.
