✨ Become a confident, resilient Therapy Dog team in 10 weeks with my Life Skills for Therapy Dog Teams course—limited time enrollment: https://sherrierohde.com/course

Dr. Taylor Chastain Griffin saw a need for further research in Animal-Assisted Interventions and jumped right in.

In this 54th episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I spoke with Dr. Taylor Chastain Griffin, a mental health professional and leader in the field of Animal-Assisted Interventions (AAI). Taylor shares her journey of combining her love for people and animals into a fulfilling career, and her passion for standardizing AAI through research and collaboration.

In this episode, we discuss …

  • How Taylor began her career as a dog trainer before becoming a mental health professional.

  • Why she decided to contribute to AAI research and standardization.

  • What you should look for in selecting a therapy animal organization.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do. Give it a listen and then let me know in the community which part you found the most helpful!
