Animals make people feel better. This familiar claim has been shared in the media, on social media, in memes, and in every day conversation. But when, and how, does this connection or interaction become therapeutic? Drawing on research, biophilia, and neuroscience, this webinar explores the deeper mechanisms that influence what we refer to as therapy or therapeutic value to provide meaningful change. At the heart of this distinction is what the professional brings to the interaction and how even subtle decisions shape how connection becomes an opportunity for change.
