Since its inception in 2021, Per i Sentieri ODV has been concerned with the environment and well-being, correlating these two spheres in the lives of those who contact the organisation.

Through Animal Assisted Therapy, it offers therapy aimed at treating disorders of the physical, neuro- and psychomotor, cognitive, emotional and relational spheres, targeting individuals suffering from physical, mental, sensory or multiple pathologies, of whatever origin. The intervention is customised to the recipient.

What the project involves

The Pet Therapy project will take place on a farm to bring the families involved closer to the rural world, letting them discover some aspects of working in contact with the land and animals and raising awareness with respect to the agricultural world.

Expected Outcomes

  • Raising awareness of the agricultural world
  • Discovering the characteristics and habits of various animals
  • Understanding the importance of proper nutrition and the origin of primary foods
  • Discovering the importance of the link between agriculture and animal husbandry
  • Promoting occasions for socialisation

The beneficiaries

The project is aimed at a total of 60 participants, including persons with disabilities, young people, adults, and elderly people from Italy and abroad. If we consider those indirectly involved: the families of the participants, the staff carrying out the therapies, and the people involved in agricultural work, the initiative will have a knock-on effect for more than 100 people.
