Why take the training?

Why is being Trained in ESAs important?

According to the ethical codes for counselors and therapists, practitioners must operate within their areas of competence. Various state licensing boards have issued statements emphasizing the necessity for clinicians to possess appropriate training before issuing Emotional Support Animal (ESA) letters. Additionally, multiple states have enacted laws that outline specific requirements for utilizing an ESA as an accommodation. These requirements typically include a comprehensive assessment of both the client and their need for an ESA.

How Current are the Trainings?

The on-demand Basics of ESA Letter writing course was updated and published in July of 2024. It will continue to be updated as laws and board guidance comes out or changes.  We strive to keep the course as up-to-date as possible, so that you do not miss out on important information that can impact your practice.
