THE PROBLEM
Whether fighting a wildland fire, arriving at an accident scene or taking a difficult 911 call first responders experience multiple types of stress. Being on the frontlines is both physically and mentally challenging. The adrenaline rush that first responders experience when arriving at an incident begins to wear off as exhaustion grows after long hours of duty and the effects of stress kick in.
THE SOLUTION
First Responder Therapy Dogs began leading the way in addressing mental health needs by providing emotional support to first responders by using therapy dogs in-the-field, with a hands-on approach. The emotional support of certified therapy dogs is a simple yet highly beneficial tool for frontline responders. Research shows that therapy dog services positively impact this population's behavioral health issues by reducing stress and anxiety, lowering blood pressure, and improving mood and productivity.
YOUR DONATION WILL HELP SEND THERAPY DOGS TO VISIT FIRST RESPONDERS
