Why It's SO vital
Being on the front lines is physically and mentally challenging for first responders. These everyday heroes often face mental health challenges.
Within this population, there is a stigma attached to asking for help. First Responder Therapy Dogs formed to offer a new mental health tool – emotional support from a trained therapy dog—without the stigma.
The emotional support of a First Responder Therapy Dog helps first responders in dealing with what they face everyday...and what they face is often extremely intense.
