Animals have been healers for a long time, and it is just recently that they have been recognized as an important part of holistic health. This presentation will provide an overview of different animals and the ways they contribute to our livelihood. It will break down the differences between the types of working animals such as therapy, service, emotional support, and facility, as well as the ways in which we integrate them into daily practices such as in therapy, education, counseling, and recreation. Examples of activities will be provided as well as testimonials from individuals who currently are benefiting or have benefited from animal-assisted interventions. The overall goal is to provide you with the information you will need to determine which services and which animal may be appropriate for you and your health.
PATH Intl. Certified Instructors will receive 1 CE for attending this workshop.
