About the Event
Service dogs do far more than assist with tasks—they play a vital role in fostering inclusion and strengthening the connection between individuals with disabilities and their communities. This panel presentation from local community members explores the deeper, human impact of service dog partnerships.
Join us as we examine how service dogs help shape feelings of welcome, safety, and participation—for both the individuals they serve and their families. We’ll discuss the ripple effects these partnerships have on social interactions, public access, and emotional well-being, offering insights into how service dogs not only support independence but also help create a sense of belonging in public, professional, and social spaces.
Whether you're a community member, service provider, or someone interested in accessibility and inclusion, this conversation will expand your understanding of how service dogs contribute to a more connected and compassionate society.
