More Than a Best Friend: Dogs as Mental Health Support

Can a dog really support your mental health? The answer is a resounding yes — and the science and stories behind it might just change how you think about wellness. Join us for our session featuring Canines 4 Comfort, a organiztion that places specially trained dogs with individuals, schools, and first responder teams to support mental health treatment and wellness — all free of charge.

What You'll Learn:

  • The difference between Psychiatric Service Dogs, Facility/Comfort Dogs, and Emotional Support Dogs

  • How dogs are trained to assist people living with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder

  • How facility dogs support students in schools 

  • What the process looks like to access services 

This event is free and open to everyone — whether you're exploring options for yourself or someone you love, or you're simply curious about the powerful connection between dogs and human well-being.
