The ASI publishes training manuals and conducts national workshops for mental health professionals and social workers; and educates those in the criminal justice system and the general public about this important societal issu e.
Human-Animal Studies, a multidisciplinary academic field devoted to understanding more about humankind's complex relationship with animals.
