These guidelines will incorporate the newly introduced voluntary National Standards for Animal Assisted Human Services.

January 23, 2025
3 p.m. - 6 p.m. (ET)

This free, online half-day workshop will cover the safest and most ethical practices for partnering with animals in professional practice as a therapeutic intervention, a rapidly growing field.

During the session, AAT-C representatives will outline key aspects of the updated guidelines, address any questions, and provide details on certifications and training opportunities in Animal Assisted Human Services.
