Paw and Order! Therapy Dogs for Kids Testifying in Court
Manage episode 324758636 series 2530725
Testifying in court can be a stressful experience for most people and especially children who may be asked to recall traumatic memories. We know about how studies have shown that interacting with a dog can lower stress levels, as well as put people at ease, so having dogs in the courtroom to comfort victims just makes sense. Join me as I interview Kerry Cooke, who shares her experience with this amazing program, what states allow therapy dogs in the courtroom and where we are as a whole with the important legislation needed.
