We cannot wait to welcome Noah's Arts four legged friends!

Noah's ART was founded in 2015 with a mission: to utilise the benefits of the human-animal bond to improve mental health and wellbeing in Greater Manchester.

Noah's ART aims to offer a wealth of activities suitable for all - from toddlers to those at the end of life, wherever you are in your mental health journey. Whether a troubled youth, inpatient in a mental health ward or an older person with dementia, we aim to provide support for all. We currently provide 1-1 sessions at our base in Hyde and outreach visits to schools, care homes, hospitals, and workplaces.

Using a bespoke range of approaches, sessions are client-lead and tailored to the client's needs, abilities, preferences and goals. Incorporating elements of behavioural activation, we utilise the motivating nature of animals to engage clients in therapeutic and creative activities. Aims may include improving self-esteem, tackling phobias, or pure relaxation. The presence of the animals supports a positive therapist-client relationship, promotes social interaction and reduces anxiety and stress.
