Healing Companions
Ordinary Dogs Transforming Lives
Healing Companions, Inc. is proud to say that over the months and years since 2001 we have attended and presented at hundreds of events, small and large, in an effort to educate the public about the possibilities of Psychiatric Service Dogs in treating people with mental illness. Feel free to browse some of our previous events. If you do not see an upcoming event here, that does not mean we are not working on our next one!

Lorain County Public Library: Reading and Signing
April 11, 2010 @ 12:00 am
Celebrate National Library week by entering the amazing world of healing dogs – dogs trained to help people with emotional disorders live fuller and happier lives. Jane Miller, Oberlin psychotherapist, has been working with these wonderful animals for the last 15 years, ever since she first took her own dog, Umaya, to her office and saw how much the dog comforted and helped her patients. Ms. Miller’s book, Healing Companions, profiles these extraordinary dogs and how they transform lives. As a special bonus, Tracy, one of the contributors to the book, will be there with her psychiatric service dog. Attendees will also be able to purchase a copy of the book and have it signed by the author at the program. Preregistration is required by calling the Main Library at 440-244-1192 or 1-800-322-READ, ext. 247.
