This article examines the role of pets for individuals with psychiatric disorders who live in supported housing. Using a case study approach, we describe the process of consultation with an integrated, supported housing organization during the assessment, development, and implementation of a policy to allow tenants to keep pets in their apartments. Themes from interviews with adults with psychiatric disabilities who kept pets suggest that pets provide a sense of connectedness, responsibility, and emotional stability. Employees of the organization had differential views about the advisability of people with mental illness keeping pets in their apartments. Implications of our experiences for the promotion of pet ownership for people with psychiatric disorders are discussed. |
