Health and well-being are hugely important here at Interact. That’s why, we have a new visitor to our Richmond team – Stella from Therapy Dogs Nationwide. 

Having seen the wonderful impact of our northern Therapy Dog Edward, we couldn’t wait to introduce Stella the Golden Retriever to our team.

It was great to see the immediate impact that having Stella onsite brought – as soon as her wagging tail walked into our contact centre you could feel the excitement.

The benefits of Animal Assisted Therapies have been extensively studied and results range from improvement in general health and wellbeing, increased confidence levels, improved and controlled movement to improved communication skills.

Thank-you Stella, and her wonderful owner Suzanna, for joining us. We can’t wait to see you again soon!

Interact is proud to support the Therapy Dogs Nationwide charity by donating to this amazing cause.
