In this episode, we explore the impactful work of The Human-Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI) with Lindsey Braun, HABRI VP of Research and Operations. This nonprofit organization is dedicated to researching and sharing the benefits of human-animal interaction. HABRI funds scientific studies, educates the public, and advocates for policies that support the human-animal bond.

Research Highlights:

Physiological benefits of interacting with pets, including lowering blood pressure and stress hormones while boosting bonding hormones like oxytocin.
Mental health benefits: Pets reduce loneliness, increase social support, and improve well-being.
HABRI’s initiatives include making housing more pet-friendly, supporting service animals for veterans with PTSD, promoting pet-friendly workplaces, and educating about the differences between pets, emotional support animals, service animals, and therapy animals.

Support HABRI by learning about their research, donating, and staying connected through their website and newsletter.
