Emotional support animals (ESAs) offer comfort, companionship, and therapeutic benefits to individuals facing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Unlike service animals, ESAs are not trained to perform specific tasks, but their presence can significantly reduce stress, improve emotional stability, and enhance overall well-being.

This program explores the science behind the human-animal bond, real-life stories of emotional transformation, and the legal considerations surrounding ESAs.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how these animals can play a vital role in fostering resilience, connection, and hope.
