Welcome
Thank you for visiting my DU Portfolio. I have created this site to highlight my professional work at the Institute for Human-Animal Connection and to share details about our robust professional development certificate offerings. As the program manager, I currently support four online certificate programs and one self-paced course. Each of these programs aim to educate professionals from around the world about the importance and ethical responsibility of human-animal interactions. The four professional development certificates include:
- Animals and Human Health
- Canine-Assisted Intervention Specialist
- Equine-Assisted Mental Health Practitioner
- Humane Education Practitioner
We also have one self-paced, online introductory course open to the public called Orientation to Human-Animal Interactions.
If you'd like to learn more about any of these programs or the work we do at the Institute for Human-Animal Connection, please email me at arielle.giddens@du.edu.
