Join us in learning about using dogs in your clinical practice. We will learn about types of service dogs used for therapy, emotional support, skilled companions, and the types of situations they are trained for. Hannah will explain how to responsibly implement dogs into your practice and how to design treatment plans that include your canine partner.
President's Message
We are well into this year now. How are you doing? Are you beginning to go back to your in person office, or maintaining a telehealth presence? I am telehealth all of the way, however my team that works for me have adopted a hybrid approach, some telehealth and some in person. With the vaccines becoming more available and the third one on its way, are you getting more comfortable, getting out more and discovering what this new normal is and wondering how long this will continue?
The Spanish Flu lasted several years, I found a picture that reminded me so much of today and how we are living. When I first saw this, it was a bit eerie, other than their old fashioned attire, I could swear I am looking at us today in our Covid-19 World.
Elections This Month!
Hopefully by now you have received the upcoming elections information. The voting goes through March 31st, 2021, and we will announce the results in the upcoming President’s Message in April. Yes I said April...this year is moving fast!
The advantages of being a board memberare numerous. For one thing, the connections you make become a new Tribe in your life that you can support and also lean on. Giving back to our community by volunteering on a board is also a great benefit, that feeling of helping is something we as clinicians are familiar with.
The board runs seamlessly. We email throughout the month, have our trainings and board meetings on the same day, virtually, which eliminates logistical concerns, such as driving to a location and getting back home.
I can only speak for myself, but over the years I have networked and hired people from our meetings, made great friends, and learned a ton from the many topics our trainings cover.
Please check your email and cast your vote! Nominees this year are as follows:
This brings me to our last meeting.Thank you Georgia King for your presentation on Immigration. Such a timely subject matter and so needed by the immigrants in our country.
