Introduction to the Program

This is your opportunity to specialize in a booming field within Psychology and take your knowledge to the next level”

Animal-Assisted Interventions have experienced a great rise in the last decade due to the human need to create a special bond with animals which has evinced their potential emotional healing effect. These Animal-Assisted Interventions are dynamic and participatory proposals whose purpose is to improve the quality of life of people from a biological, social and psychological perspective.

With this intensive program, Psychology professionals will be able to develop a stable bond with animals and a structured methodology of non-conventional animal-assisted interventions, adjusted to each user (patient or trainee) with clear and achievable objectives.

The specialization also addresses the set of techniques and exercises necessary to intervene as therapists at a psychomotor level, using horses as co-therapists to work on a physical, emotional, sensory, cognitive and social level.

At the same time, the training utilizes an alternative methodology for using birds in captivity to generate benefits both in humans and in the birds themselves, not without first understanding their characteristics as a species that mostly thrives in a natural environment.

Finally, the program offers specialized knowledge about non-conventional animals that regularly participate in assisted interventions, characteristics and recommendations in terms of their care, work methodologies with respect to both birds and users, pathologies for which these animals are suited and the basic parameters that ensure their well-being.

The development of new therapeutic methodologies to counteract the negative effects of stress generated by social, cultural and biological impacts, make assisted interventions a natural alternative.
