You And Your Dog Can Help Kids In Delaware County Courts

MEDIA, PA – Being in a courthouse can be very intimidating, especially for children and their families.

In an effort to ease their stress and fears, the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas has a program that includes canine therapy teams from PAWS for People.

In partnership with the Delaware County Bar Association, the Delaware County Court of Common Pleas and Delaware County Council are teaming up with PAWS for People to hold a seminar called “The Amazing Impact of Therapy Pets” and the public is invited to attend.

The seminar will focus on how individuals can become a therapy team with their dogs to ease anxiety and calm fears for children, their families and other people involved in court proceedings.

The seminar is free and will be hosted from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 4 at the Delaware County Bar Association, 335 W. Front St., Media.
