Rabbits are not bred for temperament the way dogs are. So you can get a wide variety of personalities with in a breed.
I would suggest looking for an adult rabbit, preferably from a rescue and already spayed or neutered. This gives you the best idea of what the rabbit is like and if it is suited to your needs. A rescue will know the personalities of each rabbit and can help point you in the right direction.
Since you are wanting to do therapy work, I would suggest not getting a large breed. Visiting hospitals and care centers can require carrying the rabbit around, and a lot of larger rabbits don't like to be carried and handled too much. It would be fine for a personal support animal, but can be a bit challenging for going out.
