英文原稿
On college campuses in U.S. and around the world, pets are lending a paw to stressed-out students.
With many collegians reporting depression, anxiety, and other ills—a study says one in three has used counseling services—school officials arrange “pet-therapy” events to spread cheer and fight stress, especially during exams.
These are not service animals trained to assist people with disabilities; most are the pets of volunteers. Their visits are demonstrably beneficial: Research shows that contact with pets can decrease blood pressure and stress-hormone levels and increase so-called happiness hormones. Mary Margaret Callahan, a director at the non-profit Pet Partners, considers pet house calls on campus “a great way to support students in being successful.”
