HOUNDS for HEROES’ is our K9 program that will assist individuals with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) by performing tasks that help to alleviate the symptoms of the disorder.
Service dogs can be trained to recognize the signs of an impending anxiety attack and intervene to provide comfort and support. They can also be trained to perform tasks that help to ground the individual in the present moment, such as deep pressure therapy or guiding the individual to engage in a calming activity.
We are working feverishly to get Hounds for Heroes up and running. As you can imagine it takes plenty of resources in time and finances to provide a program like this.
Please consider donating to Whitewater Ministries and help us help our ‘Defenders of America’.
