Supporting Clients with Companion Animals in Routine Social Work Practice: The “Why” and the “How”
Approximately 70 percent of United States households report having at least one companion animal, and the majority indicate they consider their animal to be a family member yet recognizing and responding to clients’ companion animal relationships – as both strengths and stressors in clients’ lives –- are not routine considerations in most social work practice settings. Social workers who are responsive to clients’ companion animal concerns face both system and resource barriers. The focus of this webinar is two-fold: 1) delineating the biopsychosocial benefits (and risks) of animal companionship for people as a rationale for addressing clients’ companion animal concerns across practice settings; and 2) providing micro, mezzo, and macro resources and strategies to effectively support people’s relationships with their animals.
Learning Objectives:
Attendees will be able to describe at least one of each type of human benefit associated with non-human animal companionship: biological, psychological, social, and emotional.
Attendees will be able to identify at least three client risks related to omitting consideration of client companion animal concerns in social work practice.
Attendees will be able to state at least two strategies for increasing consideration of
clients’ companion animal concerns in micro practice.
Attendees will be able to describe at least three strategies (mezzo or macro) for addressing clients’ companion animal-related resource needs.
