“The Power of Presence: How Connecting with Therapy Animals Can Help Support Families Working Through Chronic Medical Issues and Medical Trauma”

Have you ever experienced extended hospital stays, unexpected medical events, or found yourself reacting to routine medical procedures in unexpected ways? It can often feel isolating and overwhelming.
If you’d like to hear from someone who has experienced all of these things and come away with ideas and resources to support your own journey—and meet a Golden Retriever therapy partner—come learn how interacting with trained therapy animals can bring comfort and healing, even during recovery.
Q&A: 10:20–10:25 a.m.
