Mr P , but A is one of our Bams

00:03.859 --> 00:06.026
facility dogs . So she's part of staff

00:06.026 --> 00:08.189
wellness and resiliency . So , stress

00:08.199 --> 00:10.366
mitigation is at the core of that . So

00:10.366 --> 00:12.366
she has skills that are designed to

00:12.366 --> 00:14.421
decrease our human stress response .

00:14.421 --> 00:16.532
The one that we use regularly and she

00:16.532 --> 00:20.059
absolutely loves to do is the hug . So

00:20.069 --> 00:22.959
that's where she will put positive

00:22.969 --> 00:25.191
pressure on the individual's shoulder .

00:25.191 --> 00:27.302
So if we think about the human stress

00:27.302 --> 00:29.302
response , we get really tense , we

00:29.302 --> 00:31.358
tense up our shoulders and that will

00:31.358 --> 00:33.525
help reduce those responses in us that

00:33.525 --> 00:35.525
we may not even be aware of . The ,

00:37.470 --> 00:39.359
all of our clinicians have highly

00:39.359 --> 00:41.720
important and highly stressful jobs and

00:41.729 --> 00:44.619
having these dogs around is critical

00:44.630 --> 00:47.659
for their continued well being and to

00:47.669 --> 00:50.810
be effective parts of the team . Thanks

00:50.819 --> 00:52.049
for being here , of course .
