Upcoming Webinars

Finding Your Voice Through the Use of Facility Dogs

Date: June 22, 2026
Time: 9:30 - 11:00 AM CST
Presented by: Christina Hardinger, Facility Dog Program Manager, Center for Child Protection

Description: Facility dogs support the mission of the Center for Child Protection by helping crime victims feel safe, supported, and empowered to share their story. Trained to work alongside professionals, these dogs provide calm companionship and consistency during intake, forensic interviews, therapy sessions, and court proceedings. By accompanying children through some of their most difficult moments—including criminal and civil court—facility dogs help reduce anxiety and build the courage needed to find their voice and speak their truth. They also offer meaningful support to staff and multidisciplinary team members, fostering reflection and resilience in this challenging work.
