Mental health experts are closely monitoring the effects of social isolation due to the current pandemic on an individual's mental and physical health. Especially critical are children in early development and adolescence who are at the greatest risk of impaired social development.
Current research tells us that dogs (both working dogs and companion dogs) help humans to maintain and enhance
social, emotional, and physical skill building naturally, and long term.
We invite families to work with their family dog in therapy, enrichment, or training!

Operation H.E.E.L. began as a mission to support our military children. They chose to face extraordinary challenges both at home and at school with positivity and perseverance, knowing that their military family member serves or has served to secure our country's freedom.
It is through the resilience of military children that our mission be shared with all children as they overcome their own challenges. |
