WHERE THE HEALING BEGINS
WE PROVIDE PSYCHIATRIC SERVICE DOGS TO INDIVIDUALS DIAGNOSED WITH ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, OR POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER.
ESSENTIAL TO EVERYDAY LIFE
psychiatric service dogs are invaluable for the day-to-day functioning of someone suffering from a mental health illness. these dogs are lifelines. they’re as vital as a guide dog is for a blind or visually impaired person.
skills and tasks to work a lifetime
in addition to learning impressive skills that allow them access to a variety of public settings otherwise off-limits to companion dogs, psychiatric service dogs are trained to perform specific tasks for their person — which are as unique as each individual — to help mitigate the symptoms anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder.
the big picture
there’s an overarching goal to everything we do. call it the big picture if you will. and that is to make a positive and lasting impact on the mental health of the people who make up our communities in the place we call home. for us, that’s Napa Valley, California.
by helping one person, we help their entire circle: family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and the people who make-up their day-to-day life.
healthy individuals are better able to take care of themselves, their children, and their families. healthy individuals have more meaningful relationships with those around them which translates into better family life, neighborhoods, schools, work places, communities.
