Human services
professionals invited to enrol in introductory animal
assisted therapy course |
|
(May 27, 2009 – Vermilion, Alta.) People in the
human services field are invited to expand their skills by taking an
animal assisted therapy course this fall at Lakeland College.
Introduction to Animal Assisted
Therapy is the only course of its kind in Western Canada. Eileen
Bona, a provisional psychologist and owner of Dreamcatcher
Nature-Assisted Therapy Ltd. of Ardrossan, developed and instructs
the course. Previously offered only to second-year students in the
child and youth care program, the course attracted enough attention
from people in the industry that Lakeland has opened up the fall
intake to the public
