Why Join HARP?
Becoming a member of HARP (Human-Animal Relational Practice) means stepping into a living ecosystem of connection, learning, and professional support. Membership offers more than access. It offers belonging.
As a HARP member, you become part of a growing interdisciplinary community of animal care professionals, social workers, therapists, educators, veterinarians, researchers, and advocates who share a commitment to ethical, relational, and trauma-informed human-animal work. You’ll gain access to curated educational resources, practice tools, research updates, and exclusive content designed to strengthen both your clinical skills and your relational impact.
Members also receive invitations to peer support groups, case consultation spaces, and facilitated discussion forums where real-world challenges can be explored with colleagues who understand the unique emotional, ethical, and professional realities of this field. Whether you are navigating compassion fatigue, developing animal-inclusive programs, or expanding your human-animal practice, you won’t be doing it alone.
HARP membership is where professional growth meets collective care. It’s where expertise is shared, community is built, and the future of human-animal relational work is shaped. 🐾🌿
