New Therapy Farm Uses Animals to Aid Mental HealthStarting in 2026, a farm in Enger will provide animal-assisted therapy for anxiety, depression, and dementia patients.
- Jasmin and Jan Pettke are renovating an old Enger farm to launch animal-assisted therapy sessions by 2026.
- The farm will use animals like alpacas and horses to help individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, and dementia.
- This therapy serves as a complement to traditional treatments, potentially reducing medication and speeding recovery.
- Approximately €20,000 is still needed to fund construction, animal care, and accessibility features through donations.
The most important thing is to catch the people and give them a space for peace so that they can switch off from the constant pressure – the carousel of thoughts is broken.— Jasmin Pettke speaks about the significance of her animal-assisted therapy for people with psychological issues.
