From UC Disability Services:
Lions!
Tigers! and Bears!…..and Dogs?
Ok,
we won’t have Lions, Tigers or Bears but on Thursday, May 31 from 11am-1pm
on McMicken Commons, Disability Services Office and Student Government is
partnering with Therapy Pets of Cincinnati for “Pet-A-Pet”. This event
will educate and inform the campus community about the purpose, nature and
function of service and emotional support animals for individuals with disabilities. Services
Animals and Emotional Support Animals are an integral accommodation for persons
with mental health disorders such as Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder and
many other disabilities. Come out and meet some AMAZING and yes, cuddly,
cute dogs which will win your heart but will also educate you about the
important service which they provide. Additionally, Disability Services will have
information packets which will help you, “YES YOU!!” become better
informed of the appropriate ways to engage persons with disabilities using
“People First Language” and Service/Emotional support animals. So, come on out, “Pet-A-Pet”,
(Hey, Finals is just around the corner, this could help take away some stress)
and get some helpful information.
You
don’t want to miss out!!!
