Pets Are Better Than Medication

November 20, 2020 by Tish Weikel Leave a Comment

“Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them, and filling an emptiness we didn’t ever know we had.” – Thom Jones For many of us, our home is just a house unless there is something with four legs and a tail sharing the space with us. Our pets are not only cuddly […]

Mental Health Therapy for Frontline Workers

October 21, 2020 by Tish Weikel Leave a Comment

None of us were prepared for the global pandemic we find ourselves in. Not parents, teachers, and certainly not the healthcare workers around the country.
