The Healing Power of Animals

Client photos at Marin Humane

July 17, 2015

This month, participants have been discussing community integration opportunities and strategies for exploring new interests. Clients planned and prepared for an outing to the Marin Humane Society’s “Compassion Corner” volunteer event where they enjoyed an afternoon of socializing with companion animals including dogs, kittens, rabbits, and even rats!

The outing provided an opportunity for participants to experience the healing power of animals in a safe environment, and the animals in turn benefit from receiving extra attention and socialization. Many new friendships were formed and great times were had by all!
