Preparing Your Workspace for AAI

When bringing a therapy animal into your workspace, you need to have carefully planned and prepared the environment to ensure both the therapy animal and the people it serves thrive. How is your workspace set up to support the animal? Do you have designated retreat spaces? What signage do you need on your doors? Have you planned for designated areas where the animal can eliminate, and are you equipped with the right cleaning supplies and first aid kits? Thoughtful preparation for these factors is essential to meet field standards and create a safe, supportive environment.

Join us for a session with Kerri Golding Oransky, LCSW Child, Adolescent and Adult Therapist, as we discuss these important practical considerations for setting up your workspace for a successful animal-assisted intervention.
