🐾 Libera has a new “therapist” on staff! 🐾 Congratulations to Libera’s own Program Director, Beth Currence, and her four-legged companion, Boomer, who are a newly trained and Certified Dog Therapy team! Boomer has already been to work visiting the Ronald Mulholland Juvenile Detention Center in Wheeling, where Beth and the Libera team lead peer support groups with girls. Boomer got lots of snuggles and cuddles and one of the girls remarked about how much she “needed this.” #liberawv #therapydog #juvenilejustice #supportanimals #wv

Since we work a lot with youth in incarceration, I felt this TED talk was a small step into that world and helpful in shedding a little light on the people behind the sentencing. https://lnkd.in/eAMjgjfd
