PAWS (Pet Away Worry and Stress) at Wilson Library

February 29 @ 11:30 am - 1:30 pm

Free
Chocolate lab in a yellow bandana

Join us at Wilson Library (west bank) for PAWS (Pet Away Worry and Stress) from UMN Boynton Health. Drop in at any time to meet registered therapy animal teams—including dogs, bunnies, cats, chickens, and other therapy animals. Sessions are FREE and open to the University of Minnesota community. All are welcome!!

Boynton Health’s PAWS program provides Animal-Assisted Interactions (AAI) with registered therapy animals – including dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens – and a licensed clinical social worker staffs each session. While these sessions are not therapy, they are certainly therapeutic and part of the University’s initiative to support student mental health. PAWS is a safe, welcoming, and fun setting that is open and FREE to everyone who is part of the University of Minnesota community. No appointment is needed, and students are invited to attend PAWS as often as they can throughout the school year to interact with the therapy animals, their handlers, and other attendees.
