About
The De Minis Foundation is committed to bring joy, relaxation and comfort to people in hospitals, healthcare institutions, schools and hospitals through the visit of therapy animals.
Stichting De Mini's zet zich in om vreugde, ontspanning en troost te brengen aan mensen in ziekenhuizen, zorginstellingen, scholen en hospices door het bezoek van therapiedieren.
Our mission is to support people who are in vulnerable situations with the positive power of animal therapy. Animals have a deep and positive impact on the emotional and physical well-being of people, and we believe that each animal can make its own unique contribution to improving the mood of people in healthcare environments. Using our network of enthusiastic volunteers and donors and of course with our animals, we want to bring joy throughout the Netherlands in healthcare institutions, hospitals, hospitals and schools for special education. Our foundation focuses on hospitals, children's hospitals, institutions for daily care, nursing homes, special education and hospital services. The therapy animals not only bring comfort to patients, residents and pupils, but also help the care staff by creating a relaxed atmosphere.
Onze missie is om mensen die zich in kwetsbare situaties bevinden, te ondersteunen met de positieve kracht van dierentherapie. Dieren hebben een diepe en positieve invloed op het emotionele en fysieke welzijn van mensen, en wij geloven dat elk dier zijn eigen unieke bijdrage kan leveren aan het verbeteren van de gemoedstoestand van mensen in zorgomgevingen. Met behulp van ons netwerk van enthousiaste vrijwilligers en donateurs en natuurlijk met onze dieren willen wij door heel Nederland vreugde brengen in zorginstellingen, ziekenhuizen, hospices en scholen voor speciaal onderwijs. Onze stichting richt zich op ziekenhuizen, kinderziekenhuizen, instellingen voor dagbesteding, verzorgingshuizen, speciaal onderwijs en hospices. De therapiedieren brengen niet alleen troost aan patiënten, bewoners en leerlingen, maar helpen ook het zorgpersoneel door een ontspannen sfeer te creëren.
