xperiential Practice of Including Animals in Mental Health Services
Animal assisted play therapy is currently enjoying unprecedented acknowledgment and acceptance within the professional community, and a credential through the International Institute for Animal Assisted Play Therapy is now available. Research continues to validate the introduction of animals into the therapeutic setting. Promising results have been achieved with a variety of presenting diagnoses across all age groups.
Animal co–play therapists shed the light on areas we miss with our verbal skills in the therapy room. Step into that light and explore limits, compassion fatigue, trusting the process, and silence with hands on, play therapy based techniques utilizing live and/or stuffed animals. Discover the ethical, practical, and safety issues that surround working with animals in a clinical setting.
Ms. Moser frequently shares her expertise in front of professional audiences, including the National Association of Social Workers, the Association for Play Therapy, and the National Organization for Victim Assistance. She is also President of Pawsitive Kids Camp, Inc. This one of a kind camp for children combines mental health and rescue animals to improve self–esteem, behavior management and more for both the children and animals.
