Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) is a unique and powerful therapeutic approach that harnesses the positive effects of human-animal interactions.
However, it is more than bringing your pet to work. It requires a complex set of skills, knowledge, and considerations to ensure the safe and effective integration of animals into therapy ultimately to achieve successful client outcomes.
Join Tara Moser, LCSW, and Certified Animal Assisted Intervention Specialist as she teaches you how to confidently integrate AAT interventions that produce results even at the very first session! You will learn how to:
Build positive attachment and trust with clients
Reduce anxiety levels and induce a sense of relaxation
Support co-regulation between client and animal
Promote self-control and impulse management
Develop self-awareness, compassion, and empathy
Create strong social-emotional communication skills
But that's not all, you will also learn to keep everyone safe, including how to:
Detect signs of stress in animal’s and client’s body language
Select animals that are well-suited for the client’s specific situation
Align your client’s therapy goals to appropriate AAT interventions
Integrate AAT with modalities you already use
Know when to and when not to include animals in therapy
Determine best practices for in-person vs telehealth
And so much more!
