This unprecedented time of constantly changing circumstances presents decisionmakers with many challenges regarding when and in what manner to allow more people to visit animal care facilities and return to schools and other educational settings. As communities continue to navigate these issues, HEART invites you to use the free home learning activities we are working diligently to develop for youth to practice self-care, spend time with family, and learn about compassion for animals and the natural world.
