A reminder, if you couldn't tell, it is conference week this week. While we will be having fun with a large number of attendees, we know that the majority of our members are still in their homes, barns and regular jobs. Thank you for keeping everything running!
The PATH Intl. staff is busy getting everything ready for the conference and 50th anniversary celebration. Staff will periodically be out of the office starting Wednesday through Friday, so response times to phone messages and emails may be slightly longer. Thank you for your patience, and we will get back to normal as soon as possible!

Graduate Student Survey: East Carolina University
|
|
You are invited to participate in a research study titled "Exploring the potential inclusion of child life professionals in equine-assisted activities and therapy" being conducted by Rachel Robinson, a graduate student at East Carolina University in the Human Development and Family Science department.
Click here for the survey. The goal is to survey 250 individuals through Qualtrics. The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. It is hoped that this information will assist us to better understand the knowledge that equine-assisted activities and therapies personnel have about the field of child life and their attitudes toward incorporating child life specialists into the equine-assisted activities and therapies team. Please call Rachel Robinson at (509) 332-9201 for any research related questions or the Office of Research Integrity & Compliance (ORIC) at (252) 744-2914 for questions about your rights as a research participant.
