You – our educators – are immeasurably critical to society, as you prepare our future leaders, innovators, and changemakers, but so many are overwhelmed with the demands and stressors of their work. Many studies have shown that adopting a pet can lower stress levels, boost your mood, reduce the likelihood of anxiety and depression, and improve blood pressure. Further, children, particularly those with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder, have demonstrated better social skills and more sharing, cooperation, and volunteering when exposed to dogs.
With so many proven benefits to pet ownership, ITEEA hopes we can help more people, including local educators, welcome new pets into their home! Join us in supporting the St. Louis area, both humans and animals alike, as a small token of our appreciation for hosting our Conference.
