Agency announces new Animal Assisted Therapy Program

We are excited to announce that we have completed all training for our handler/animal teams and therapists and have now officially implemented our new AAT program. AAT will be used in conjunction with current evidenced based therapy curriculum. This 6 month effort, funded by our friends at SPF, was led by our Sexual Assault Program Director, Jessica Bell. Many thanks to Jessica and her team! For questions, please call Jessica at 864 227 1623.
