Dogs (and Other Nonhuman Animals) Need Therapy in Therapy, Too
If the mere presence of a dog, cat, horse, bird, reptile, or other nonhuman species, participating in Animal-Assisted Therapy, has been universally proven to benefit a human client’s health and development, is the mere presence of a human, participating in Animal-Assisted Therapy, been universally proven to be beneficial or detrimental for the nonhuman therapy animal’s health and development? Our nonhuman animal partners may intuitively enjoy working in treatment settings but their bodies are instinctually showing signs of stress that can be lowered (and eliminated!) with our unconditional support.
Neurodiversity and Grief, Appearances May Vary
Everyone grieves their losses but do we all grieve in the same way? This session explores similarities and differences in grief, loss, and empathy in neurodiverse populations. Practical tips as well as theoretical background will be shared.
