This serves to advance the credibility of utilizing registered therapy animals as tools of change when working with a variety of populations, while keeping within the boundaries of the handler's professional degree.
At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will have the confidence and desire to return to their communities with strategies for starting their own AAA/T businesses.
