Sled Dogs As Therapy UK

Sled Dogs As Therapy UK Noble dogs for a noble cause Children will benefit from learning about the environment, working dogs and how to care/train them.

Some of the work that the team are involved in and some that they will be involved in include:

- 1-1 therapy sessions for individuals requiring mental health support. This will be done in partnership with a local Mental Health Charity.

- Benefit for recovering service personnel (Military, fire and Police). Visits will be provided and offered to individuals and their families whom have experience

d physical, psychological and/or emotional trauma through the ex*****on of their duties.

- Dogs will be taken into educational establishments. It is believed that if children are taught how to treat/care for animals, it will help to demonstrate responsibility, compassion and empathy for others. Other avenues for education involves animal assisted education, it has been shown that when a dog is present children increase their ability to learn in areas such as reading and writing.

- It is also hoped that the activities will benefit the community at large through the education about sled dogs and their environment, working sled dogs, dog training and care. In the future it is planned that Sled dogs as therapy will recruit volunteers who would like to use their own sled dogs in animal assisted activities. Any potential volunteers would need to have liability insurance (privately or through SDAT), would need to have their dog pass a temperament test and would also need to aide by the code of ethics laid down by the Society for Compassionate Animal Studies. As a big part of our mission is through education SDAT will also help those with sled dogs that need advice with training, problem behaviors etc.

What an amazing session!
Thank you to this week's RRP cohort. You guys were a lot of fun and I am so glad you enjoyed the session!

We included so much content, from canine binding to teaching the guys how to do basic scent work

It was warm, so I kept a very close eye on Mackey! As always he was the star of the show and worked very hard.

Good luck for the future guys!
Keep in touch.

What a lovely morning! πŸ•πŸΎ

The input, cohesion and team dynamics made today's session incredible! Mackey was, as usual, on top form.

He performed magic today for someone who learned a lot about themselves!

For me personally, this session did my heart the world of good!

I have been doing dog therapy with Recovering Service personel for 10 years now! I never fail to be suprised and amazed at the positive impact a dog can have on a person.

Lovely session at Tedworth House Recovery centre. πŸ•πŸΎ

I want to personally thank the participants of today's RRP. None of you, or the staff knew, but I lost my Mum this month and days away from her funeral.

I had no idea how the session would go.

I was nervous traveling down. Despite wanting to give the session 100%, I was finding it hard to proper switch on!

You guys made it very easy! Such a lovely bunch of people, great interaction, and a good time had by all.

Seeing people get something out of the session, made me feel wonderful, and helped me peronally!

Good luck to all, maybe see you on another RRP. Keep in touch πŸ€™

I really like this meme. As it comes from a place of hope.
Coming from working in Mental Health for 18 years. When someone is in such constant pain, taking your life can seem the best and only solution!
It may seem that the people in your life may be better off without you. It's understandable that an end to the intensity of pain becomes, an attractive solution. It's quite logical when you look at it. And there is no judgement for anyone who has had suicidle thoughts, called for help, or made a real plan to end their life. You are not weak for feeling this way. More likely is that you have been too strong, for too long fighting an impossible battle. Fighting alone!
But this meme brings to light some truths.
- Your family, the world is not better off without you! You may think it is. That does not make it true.
- There is help available! You may feel that you have not got the help you needed. You may feel let down by the system. But there are people out there who really care and are fighting to help you. PLEASE keep trying!
- One more day!
