Paws, Relax, Recharge

💚 🧡 ⚖️ FAMU Law took a paws for wellness today with a visit from therapy dogs 🐶, as a part of the College’s efforts to support students mentally, physically, socially, and emotionally.

Pet therapy helps reduce stress, boost mood, encourage connection, promote well-being, and offers other benefits.

Taking a break to recharge is important for law students to stay healthy, maintain balance, and manage challenges, as they continue in their academic success and professional development.

Thank you to Eclipse, Henry, London, Remy, and Sawyer for bringing some pawsitivity to our Friday!
