PAWS for People will hold training sessions for potential pet therapy teams in Kennett Square during September. There is a Sept. 13 orientation and a Sept. 27 training session from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Both sessions are required and will be held at The Friends Home, 147 W. State Street in Kennett Square. Anyone with a gentle, people-friendly pet who is interested in volunteering time to work with children and adults with varying needs should attend. PAWS for People provides therapeutic visits to individuals who will benefit from interaction with a well-trained loving pet. Therapy teams consist of one volunteer and one pet who have both completed rigorous training and testing. Visitation sites range from nursing homes and hospitals to schools and libraries, with a wide variety of programs including eldercare, psychiatric support, developmental disabilities, literacy skills development and many more. Pre-registration is required. Go to www.pawsforpeople.org or call 302-351-5622 for more information.
