January 30, 2020 - Positive Engagement Team (P.E.T.) - Devon Apodaca, Director of Imperial County Humane Society and Cynthia Jimenez Community Service Worker.
Imagine a clinic with a dog hanging out. Not a therapy dog, just a well-behaved, friendly, and loving dog there to meet you, receive and give affection, and give support to showing up for a behavioral health appointment. ICBHS and the community imagined that this would make clinics more inviting and that our community members receiving behavioral health care would enjoy the atmosphere more sharing time with our furry friends. In conjunction with trained handlers and the Humane Society, the innovation is coming true. |
