Central Ohio Behavioral Healthcare (COBH) is seeking compassionate and dedicated seeking individuals with their own Certified Therapy pets to join their weekend program. These sessions, held on either Saturday and Sunday starting at 9 a.m., provide a wonderful opportunity to make a positive impact on individuals seeking support.
