Purpose of the Animal-Assisted Human Services (AAHS) Directory

Our goal is to co‑create a seamless, unified, searchable directory that enables consumers and other interested stakeholders to easily find relevant information and navigate Canada’s Animal‑Assisted Human Services (AAHS) Industry with confidence.

Who Can Create an Account?

Animal‑Assisted Human Service Providers (AAHSP) and Animal-Assisted Services Professionals (AASP), as well as for‑profit or not‑for‑profit, public or private organizations, engaged in the business of Animal-Assisted Human Services (AAHS) delivery.

Animal-Assisted Services Professional (AASP): A person who may require a specific designation, certification, or competency level to work with people and animals to deliver AAHS within their defined scope of practice — such as volunteers, educators, facilitators, animal trainers, therapists, counsellors, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and speech‑language pathologists.
