First, animals were used as a medium for school and countryside outreach activities. In collaboration with Yuen Long Social Welfare Department and the San Tin Rural Committee, we organised animal volunteer visits and an animal café carnival to promote urban-rural integration, convey care, and provide mental health education and promotion. Second, a service effectiveness study was conducted through focus group interviews with service users, staff, and animal volunteers, combining theoretical analysis to establish a solid foundation for a comprehensive service model. Preliminary findings indicate that animal-assisted services enhance users’ emotional awareness and social skills, strengthen community relationships and foster an inclusive atmosphere, demonstrating significant social and mental health benefits. 社會福利署元朗福利專員石陳麗樺女士 ， 和朗澄坊職員與寵物義工一行人 ， 前往新田鄉探望會員及其照顧者 Mrs. Shek Chan Lai Wah, District Social Welfare Officer (Yuen Long), along with staff and pet volunteers from Placidity Place, visited a member and her caregiver in San Tin 朗澄坊的青年會員與青年綠洲住戶聯誼 ， 在義工會員的 協助下 ， 以厨藝會友 ， 加强社區連結 Youth members from Placidity Place engaged with Youth Oasis residents in a cooking event, facilitated by volunteers, to strengthen community connections 實證為本 、 包容共融的 動物輔助服務 朗澄坊今年動物輔助服務有兩大重點發展 ： 一是以動物為媒介 ， 開展入校及入鄉活動 ， 與 元朗社會福利署及新田鄉事委員會合作 ， 舉 辦動物義工探訪及動物 café 嘉年華 ， 促進城 鄉融合 、 傳遞關懷 ， 以及進行精神健康教育和 推廣 ； 二是進行動物輔助服務成效研究 ， 通過 與服務使用者 、 職員及動物義工的聚焦訪談 ， 結合理論分析 ， 為建立完善的服務模式奠定 基礎 。 研究結果初步發現動物輔助服務不僅 可提升服務使用者的情緒覺察與社交能力 ， 亦加強社區關係與包容氛圍 ， 具有顯著的社 會與心理健康意義 。 參加者樂聚一堂於在新田鄉舉辦的動物 café ， 以動物為 媒介 ， 促進城鄉共融 Participants gathered at the animal café conducted in San Tin, using animal as a medium to promote urban- rural integration
