SoC Best Practices | Animal Assisted Therapy: Principles & Application Part 2
Presented by Dr. Teresa Rogers IMFT-S, LPCC-S, AAMFT-AS
This Part 2 training provides clinicians with a more specialized focus of therapeutic relationships we share with non-human animals. Attendees will be introduced to the growing body of literature on the human-animal bond as well as the ethical implications in Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT). Clinicians will be exposed to the basic principles of animal assisted interventions as applied to theoretical models (Systems Theory, Exposure Response Prevention, Internal Family Systems, Expressive Arts) as applied to specific populations. Heavy emphasis will be placed on AAT and Systems Theory for clinicians who work with families both in home and in office settings. Clinicians will explore treatment planning and outcome tracking to best support their work partnering with animals. Part 1 of this AAT training is suggested, but not required.

Connection: To ensure CIP COE provides top quality training and learning experiences, all participants must have their cameras on for the entire training event to attend and receive credit. The attendance and participation expectations are the same for virtual and in-person training events: no multitasking, follow along, engage, and participate in discussions and other activities, no traveling in a car or attending concurrent meetings.
Note: If you join the training without your camera on, you will be removed and need to reschedule.
1. Bandwidth issues: inform your agency and make plans to access a connection that is conducive for camera-on, engaged learning.
2. Chromebook or similar devices generally complicate your connection. You will not be able to obtain chat information etc.; you will need alternative options.
3. Phoning in with audio (no video) cannot verify attendance, you will be removed from the training and unable to earn credits.
