The Fuzzy Face Express (FFE) Program is a mobile animal program which provides therapeutic recreation; aid for mental health disorders; social interaction and joy for those who are elderly, homeless, sick or shut in. Visits provide an opportunity to teach school-aged children about humane-education through engagement including youth at risk of being in trouble with the law. Visits renew a sense of purpose and hope among the participants.
FFE’s dedicated team of mental health therapists and animal handlers are accompanied on location by several species of farm animals who have been specially screened, trained and certified. These animals are the key aspect of the FFE program and provide a unique and highly engaging medium for reaching members of the community who may otherwise be hard to reach due to location, financial status or otherwise. |
