Elon’s SPARKS Peer Health Educators and Kopper Top Learning Center PAAWS Program will host a pet therapy event Oct. 11, 1-4 p.m.
In preparation for mid-terms, students are invited to reduce their stress at the pet therapy event hosted by Campus Recreation and Wellness’s Elon SPARKS Peer Health Educators, in partnership with Kopper Top Learning Center PAAWS Program on Tuesday, Oct. 11 from 1 to 4 p.m. on the Moseley West Lawn.
During the event, students will be allowed to spend time with their choice of rabbits, cats or dogs, while learning the benefits of pet therapy and tips on how to take care of their pets that live with them while attending Elon.
“We really just see that pet therapy is an extension of continuing to offer support in this well-being area that really looks at mental and physical connection for well-being,” said Charlotte Williams, associate director of campus recreation and wellness for student wellness.
Campus Recreation and Wellness will be tabling during the event to provide further information and resources on mental, emotional and physical well-being for students.
