At Canyon Ridge Hospital we understand that not all wounds are visible. Depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, addiction, and suicide affects millions of individuals and families. Our mission is to be a leader in behavioral healthcare, dedicated to excellent service in the community. Canyon Ridge Hospital has serviced the Greater Inland Empire since 1989. Canyon Ridge is a 157-bed acute, locked psychiatric facility offering services to adolescents ages 13-17, adults and older adults. We believe in an individualized, patient-focused approach to diagnosis and treatment. For some, anxiety or drug dependence looks different from others with the same diagnoses, and in some cases, behavioral health and substance use disorders occur simultaneously. In these cases of dual diagnosis, we treat the patients in the best way possible given their specific needs. The Pet Therapist is a volunteer position that provides scheduled pet therapy visits within the inpatient psychiatric hospital setting on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis, as mutually arranged with the Director of Therapeutic Recreation. The volunteer, accompanied by an approved therapy animal, provides supportive, structured opportunities for positive interaction, comfort, social engagement, and appropriate recreational participation for hospitalized patients. The Pet Therapist works with adult populations as assigned and follows all hospital safety, infection prevention, confidentiality, and unit-specific requirements. This is a non-clinical volunteer role and does not include patient assessment, treatment planning, clinical decision-making, or documentation responsibilities. ### Qualifications Position Requirements: Prior to providing any services, the volunteer must complete all required hospital volunteer/onboarding paperwork, including a completed Form W-9, and must provide current proof of applicable insurance coverage through a Certificate of Insurance (COI) or other documentation acceptable to the hospital. Insurance documentation must remain current for the duration of volunteer service and must meet hospital requirements. The volunteer must also complete any required orientation, screening, confidentiality, infection prevention, safety, or other onboarding requirements before beginning visits. Volunteer must carry a valid $1 million aggregate and $3 million aggregate COI, as well as provide a W9 for identification purposes.
