esa & PSA
“Animals are the bridge between us and the beauty of all that is natural. They show us what’s missing in our lives, and how to love ourselves more completely and unconditionally. They connect us back to who we are, and to the purpose of why we’re here.”

what is a psychiatric service animal?
A psychiatric service animal is a dog that has been fully trained to perform tasks that assist individuals with disabilities to detect the onset of psychiatric episodes and lessen their effects.
Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not considered service animals.
Under Title II and III of the ADA, service animals are limited to dogs. However, entities must make reasonable modifications in policies to allow individuals with disabilities to use miniature horses if they have been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for individuals with disabilities.
what kinds of tasks Do PSA’s engage in?
Psychiatric service animals may engage in reminding the handler to take medicine, providing safety checks or room searches, or turning on lights for persons with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, interrupting self-mutilation by persons with dissociative identity disorders, and keeping disoriented individuals from danger.
