Association of Animal-Assisted Interventions Professionals

AAAIP will offer the following services to its members:

• Education: online courses, webinars, conferences, and more.
• Connection: pathways for emerging AAI professionals to get started and opportunities for field leaders to share their knowledge.
• Resources: publications, handouts, template documents, and more.
• Community: robust online community and additional opportunities for special networking initiatives.
• Research: means for staying up-to-date on empirical advancements and invitations to contribute to continued investigation.



At Elysian, we believe in the transformative power of creative education, leadership and animal-assisted interventions to facilitate learning, growth, and healing. We are dedicated to providing high-quality training and development services.

At Elysian, our journey began with a shared passion and a collective vision to make a meaningful difference in the world of animal-assisted interventions. Founded by Charlotte Williams and a dedicated team of professionals with diverse backgrounds in social care, education, and therapy, Elysian was born out of a recognition of the profound impact animals can have on human well-being.

As Elysian grew and expanded its reach, the need for comprehensive training in animal-assisted interventions became increasingly evident. While online resources provided valuable theoretical knowledge, there was a clear gap in practical, hands-on learning experiences. This realization fueled our determination to create training programs that went beyond traditional methods, offering immersive, experiential learning opportunities for aspiring practitioners.
