Meeting the Emotional Needs of Children - One Dog at a Time

The National CASA Association has done a podcast about Courthouse Dogs and our very own Emma!


Since 2003 specially trained facility dogs have been assisting children and other individuals with physical, psychological or emotional trauma in the court system.  In this podcast, Ellen O'Neill-Stephens and Celeste Walsen from the Courthouse Dogs Foundation talk about how this program got started and provide their legal and clinical expertise on how dogs are changing the way emotional needs are being met in the courts, especially with child victims.

Go here to hear the podcast.
