Visit child psychiatry Männedorf

A big THANK YOU to our four-legged friends. It cannot be described with words. We are grateful that you accompany us.

There was a lot going on in the break area of the Brüschhalde child psychiatric clinic. Jumping over obstacles with the dogs, hiding the toys or sitting on the ground and petting the dog. It’s just always touching how the children get involved with the dogs, each in their own way.

At the end, there was a wolf picture as a power card and an ABRI bear from HP Switzerland GmbH for each child. Thank you for this bear-strong donation. We are looking forward to visiting you again next time.

Monika, her team and the associated dogs have responded extremely sensitively to the needs of children and adolescents. Within a very short time, all children and adolescents, even the anxious, were interactive and joyful with a dog. Heartfelt thanks from the Centre for Child Psychiatry Brüschhalde”
