Bringing Joy: Working with a Human as a Therapy Team

Hello Adventurers,

Have you ever thought of teaming with your BHFF as a Therapy Team?

Therapy Teams serve in many capacities. My mentor Buddy teamed with Barb as a registered Therapy Team with Pet Partners.

As a therapy team, Barb and Buddy mostly visited the hospital and spent a lot of time in the ICU with people recovering from injuries or illnesses. If hospitals are not your first choice, no problem! There are many endless opportunities for therapy teams including classrooms, library reading programs, airports, universities, crisis response and wherever you can imagine. In order to register as a therapy team you and your BHFF will need to take some training and then take some tests. Don’t worry the tests are not very hard. The test are to ensure that both you and your BHFF are ready to start this new adventure. Take this fun quiz to see if your animal is up to scruff!

Barb and I are thinking about testing as a Therapy Team with Pet Partners in fall 2021. We will keep you posted.

Barke’ Diem!
