Dr Kelvin Wong: Equine-assisted Therapy

In March 2025, a therapy horse was stolen from a Victorian property, devastating not just the carers but also the children with disability who relied on that horse for vital emotional and developmental support.

It has prompted a lot of questions—how does equine-assisted therapy work? And can a relationship with an animal help with anxiety, trauma, or social development?

Guest: Dr Kelvin Wong, Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology at Swinburne University

Presenter: Warren Andrew
