Basil is beginning her therapy job by working with some of the PCC’s youngest clients, children as young as 7 who are experiencing anxiety or depression…“We’ve seen a huge response already from our clinicians — who are also graduate students — who have a need to connect and need to have some of those neural pathways activated that research shows are super primed by the human-animal interaction,” Anderson said. “Basil doesn’t bark, and she doesn’t make a lot of fast, sudden movements, which is consistent with the breed. That has been really helpful in therapy. She’s just been a joy.”
