The American College of Orgonomy is hosting a free webinar on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 11:00AM to 12:00PM (ET) as part of its Case Presentation Series. Susan Marcel, D.O. will present “Pets: A Life-Saving Connection” in a discussion with interviewer/host Dee Apple, Ph.D.

According to a 2024 American Psychiatric Association poll, 84% of pet owners say their pets have a mostly positive impact on their mental health, and 74% report improved mental health due to pet ownership. Pets offer unconditional love and a sense of connection, which is especially valuable for older adults, individuals living alone or those struggling with isolation. Caring for a pet fosters a sense of responsibility and accomplishment, enhancing self-worth and providing motivation to care for something outside of one’s self, especially during difficult times.

At 23, Ann began therapy with Dr. Marcel for treatment of depression, panic attacks, and anxiety, which she suffered from since age 11. When she would feel depressed, her cat, Kevin, was a calming presence for her, offering genuine love and affection.

Join us for a compelling case presentation illustrating how animals provide unconditional love and comfort allowing their owners to leave behind the pain of their depression, anxiety, suicidal thinking and trauma—even if just for a few minutes.

During the presentation, you will have the opportunity to submit questions privately using Zoom’s Q&A function. Questions will be addressed after the presentation. Please note that as an attendee, you will not be visible or heard on screen, and you can choose to submit a question anonymously.
