where the healing begins
we bring psychiatric service dogs together with individuals suffering from a mental health illness — at no charge to the recipient.
service dogs are invaluable.
psychiatric service dogs are invaluable for the day-to-day functioning of their human.
these task-trained dogs allow their person to do the everyday things that those of us who don’t suffer from a mental health illness take for granted.
psychiatric service dogs perform specific tasks for one individual (their handler)—and these tasks vary from person to person based on each one’s needs.
for instance, psychiatric service dogs reduce stress and anxiety by applying pressure therapy or interrupting behaviors—leading to fewer flashbacks and nightmares while improving an individual’s ability to think rationally and respond to stressful situations without losing control.

“i'd like to be remembered as a guy who tried — tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being.”
