Last week, we had some furry visitors in our offices in honor of National Therapy Animal Day and Mental Health Awareness Month. We took quick breaks to destress and enjoy some cuddles with our furry friends. 🐶 Did you know that research shows that interactions with therapy animals can reduce stress, anxiety and depression, while also boosting mood and overall well-being? We put the research to the test. To learn more about working at the University of Nebraska Foundation visit, nufoundation.org/careers.
