NWAESC(2095)---Use of Therapy Dogs in Counseling



Therapy animals are known for bringing comfort, affection, and happiness to individuals. Evidence has shown that therapy dogs can enhance children’s psychological development, improve social skills, and increase self-esteem, among other benefits. Dogs can also teach responsibility, compassion, and respect for other living things. Dogs in the classroom can be used to calm fears, relieve anxiety, and teach a myriad of skills. Please join us and our therapy dogs for an overview on sharing the joys of therapy dogs with your students and staff by creating a dog program in your school. Local counselors and others experienced with the use of Therapy Dogs will bring their dogs to demonstrate and share information.
