📺✨ SOUL FRIENDS ON GOOD MORNING CONNECTICUT! ✨🐾

What a morning!

Today, Soul Friends had the incredible opportunity to visit Good Morning Connecticut on WTNH News 8 to talk about the healing power of animals, the work happening every day at Soul Friends, and our upcoming An Evening Under the Stars celebration. 💙

Soul Friends Board Member Danielle Gonyea joined Jean Ruggiero, LMSW, one of our incredible Soul Friends therapists — along with a very special four-legged guest, Boo Boo! 🐶⭐

Danielle shared her perspective not only as a member of our Board of Directors, but also as the mother of three neurodivergent children who receive services through Soul Friends. Jean shared the therapist’s perspective on the powerful connections that can happen when animals become part of the therapeutic process.

Together, they got to share something that is at the very heart of Soul Friends: this work is more than a program. For families like Danielle’s, it’s personal. 💙

We are so grateful for the opportunity to share a little bit of the Soul Friends story with Connecticut. For 25 years, Soul Friends has brought people and animals together to create connection, healing, confidence, and hope — and there is so much more still ahead.

A huge thank you to WTNH News 8 and Good Morning Connecticut along with Alyssa Rae Taglia (OUR MC FOR THE GALA!) as well as Meteorologist Gil Simmons and Brittany Taylor for welcoming us and giving us the opportunity to shine a light on this work!
