As you enter Term 3, Student Support and Wellbeing offer our 'Exam Season Toolkit' as a helping hand to support you with a successful exam season (March, April and May 2024). We invite you to take time out from revision and de-stress. Our Toolkit will help you get ready, get set, and go forth to succeed in your assessments. Be sure to book your spot at these events and activities!
About the therapy dog session
Are you an animal lover? Missing a pet at home? Come pet a pooch and meet our lovable Therapy Dogs on campus, no need to book just turn up! At this session you will meet Bella and PK the Cockapoos, Tink the Chihuahua and Emi the Labradoodle! Here you can learn more about all our furry friends, including other upcoming sessions.
The benefits of therapy dogs
Spending time with pets and other animals has been proven to show many therapeutic advantages and benefits, both physical and mental.
1. Reduced Levels of Stress & Anxiety: Stroking animals, such as cats and dogs, releases endorphins, having a calming effect and therefore reducing stress levels. On top of that, the repetitive action of patting a dog produces oxytocin, a stress-relieving hormone that helps battle physical discomfort caused by melancholy, stress, or worry.
