EVENTS/VISITS/FUNDRAISERS
The majority of The SOUL Harbour Ranch Animal Therapy Program visits are in the Chicago and Chicagoland area with our registered Pet Partners therapy teams at hospitals, nursing homes, programs for disabled, veterans, at-risk you, and others in need; however, we do have numerous opportunities for visits with the public. We would LOVE to see you at these upcoming community events, visits and fundraisers!

Anxiety Awareness Virtual Event
We know animals are good for the SOUL, so thanks to all who joined us 2/20/22 on Zoom for this virtual anxiety awareness event!
The platform featured a short introduction by Miss Teen Lakemoor Adelynn. Everyone then experienced the joy and happiness that our therapy animals share, even virtually, which decreased stress and anxiety. Jodie Diegel, SOUL Harbour Ranch founder and nurse coach, also led us through short breathing and meditation exercises for further anxiety and stress reduction.
