Animal Assisted Therapy
Bunny Besties assists with Animal Assisted Therapy group sessions at UMN Boynton Mental Health Services under the supervision of a licensed social worker. Students seeking help for coping on campus can find a fun way to practice self care and to enjoy animals in a mental health support group setting. Students sit around the bunny castle, learn bunny meditation and interact one on one with a Bunny Besties rabbit who is extensively trained in Animal Assisted Interactions (AAI)..
bunny storytime
Bunny Story Time was created for the pre-schoolers who are guests at People Serving People Homeless Shelter. One of our certified volunteers reads books about bunnies as the children are all ears. Bunny Besties gives each child a stuffed bunny to keep and to teach them how to pet a bunny with gentle hands. Then the magic happens when it all comes together and the children get to visit with a Bunny Besties rabbit. The children love making a Bunny Bestie!
reading to the rabbits
It is so much fun to practice reading out loud to a bunny. School age children have a core educational practice to read out loud for fifteen minutes a day for school. Why not boost your child's abilities and confidence by practicing with a Bunny Besties rabbit. The Bunny Besties promise there is no judgement here, just love. We are all ears!
