University of Denver's Canine Assisted Therapy Program

The University of Denver's Canine Assisted Therapy Program integrates trained therapy dogs into student support services to promote emotional well-being and reduce stress. Through structured visits and interactions, the program aims to enhance students' mental health, foster social connection, and provide comfort during challenging times. The therapy dogs are carefully selected and their visits are coordinated to complement existing mental health resources on campus, offering a calming and positive influence in academic and recreational settings.
