Episode 73- Healing with Paws and Purpose. 🐾
🎙️ Welcome to Mental Perk! 🎙️
Today’s episode is all about healing with paws and purpose. 🐾
We’re joined by Traci Pryor from the Pet Partners Therapy Animal Program to talk about how YOU and your pet can become a therapy animal team and bring real comfort to those who need it most. From hospitals to schools, this volunteer opportunity is changing lives one tail wag at a time. 🐶🐱
✨ Whether it’s a dog, cat, or something a little different—your animal could be someone’s peace.
