Yes, this webinar is entirely educational in nature. All content is developed from peer-reviewed academic research on human-animal interaction, mental health, and behavioral psychology. The sessions are designed to share scientific findings and practical insights about how cats influence human well-being, including stress reduction, anxiety management, and sleep improvement. The webinar does not serve any commercial, promotional, or clinical purpose. Every topic covered is grounded in published studies from recognized journals in the field of animal-assisted therapy and psychology. Participants can expect a structured, informative experience that prioritizes factual accuracy and educational value above all else.
Yes, participation in the webinar series is completely free of charge. There are no registration fees, no hidden costs, and no upsells at any point during or after the sessions. We believe that access to quality educational content about mental health and animal-assisted well-being should be available to everyone. You simply need to register with your name and email address, and you will receive all the information needed to join both sessions. This initiative is organized as a public educational event, and our goal is to reach as many interested participants as possible without financial barriers.
No, the webinar does not promote any commercial products, services, brands, or businesses. The entire series is focused exclusively on sharing research-based educational content about the relationship between cats and human mental health. There will be no product placements, affiliate links, sponsored segments, or sales pitches of any kind. The organizer, 5 STONE BUILDINGS SEMINARS LTD, hosts this series as an educational initiative. All recommendations made during the sessions are based solely on scientific evidence and practical experience, not on any commercial relationship or sponsorship agreement.
No, the webinar does not provide professional, medical, or financial advice. All content is intended for general educational purposes and is designed to enhance participants' understanding of the science behind cats and mental health. The information shared during the sessions should not be used as a substitute for consultation with a licensed healthcare professional, therapist, veterinarian, or any other qualified practitioner. If you have specific concerns about your mental health or the well-being of your pet, we encourage you to seek guidance from an appropriate professional. Our role is to educate and inform, not to diagnose or prescribe.
Yes, both sessions will be recorded. After the live event concludes, registered participants will receive a link to the recording via email. This allows you to revisit the material at your own pace, review specific sections that were particularly relevant to you, or catch up if you were unable to attend the live broadcast. The recordings will be available for a limited period following the series. We recommend attending the live sessions when possible, as they include interactive discussion segments and a Q&A portion where you can engage directly with the expert and other participants.
The webinar link will be sent to your registered email address approximately 24 hours before each session begins. The email will contain the direct link to join the webinar, the exact date and time of the session, and our contact email in case you experience any technical difficulties. Please ensure that the email address you provide during registration is accurate and that you check your inbox (including spam or promotions folders) before the scheduled start time. If you do not receive the link within the expected timeframe, please contact us at [email protected] and we will resend the information promptly.
Each session is designed to run between 60 and 75 minutes. This duration includes the main presentation by the invited expert, practical demonstrations or exercises, and an interactive discussion and Q&A segment at the end. We have found that this timeframe strikes an effective balance between delivering comprehensive educational content and respecting participants' time. The first session on October 10, 2026 covers the foundational science of cats and mental health, while the second session on October 17, 2026 focuses on practical techniques you can apply in your daily routine. Both sessions begin at 19:00 EET.
No, you do not need to own a cat to participate in or benefit from this webinar series. While some of the practical exercises are designed for people who live with cats, the educational content is valuable for anyone interested in the science of human-animal interaction and mental health. Whether you are a current cat owner, considering adopting a cat, working in animal welfare, studying psychology or behavioral science, or simply curious about the documented effects of feline companionship on human well-being, you will find relevant and useful information throughout both sessions. The research discussed applies broadly to understanding how animals influence our emotional and psychological health.
