Rachael Dashiell: How Animals Can Help During the Dementia Marathon
Hello Alzheimer's host, Karla Hult, talks with Rachael Dashiell, the Community Programs Manager at the Animal Humane Society. Rachael recently launched a fabulous new program, Coffee & Companions, which brings together aging adults and animals.
And that program leads Rachael and Karla into a conversation about all the cognitive and other health benefits of animals to any person, let alone anyone living with dementia.
The research proving those benefits is vast: From the more anecdotal evidence at England's Alzheimer's Society or our own Alzheimer's Association, to more nuanced research appearing in the Journal of the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association. As mentioned during this conversation, please feel free to email Karla, at: Karla@SoManyGoodbyes.com -- if you'd like to talk about this research and what it represents (Karla has literally "geeked out" on this subject, given her commitment to both animals and people living with dementia).
Again, if you'd also like to learn more about Coffee & Companions, you can either visit their website or call them, at: 763-489-2220.
And please remember to review and subscribe to "Hello Alzheimer's" if you're enjoying this content, as your support does make a difference.
Thank you, friends, and please know... You're not alone.
