This week we are talking with Dan Maigler, LCSW about Emotional Support Animals (ESA). How is an ESA different from a therapy animal? What qualifications do we need as a mental health provider to write an ESA letter? Who benefits from having an ESA? What kind of training is available for therapists to confidently write an ESA letter for their client? ... and more!Learn more about Paws for Patrick here.
Dan Maigler is a school social worker, therapist in private practice, host of the Not Allowed to Die Podcast about mental health, and the Mental Health Advisor for Paws for Patrick, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the love of animals to the people who need it the most. Paws for Patrick helps young people with mental health issues to acquire emotional support animals and connects them with therapists who will write pro-bono ESA letters for those who qualify.
