Military Families Serve Too

READ FULL STORY HERE

​Every important U.S. military mission begins as an Operation.  


Operation H.E.E.L. was created to support U.S. military children and their families during and after their U.S. service members commitment to our country.  
Our U.S. military veteran therapy dog teams volunteer their time visiting our U.S. military children in various settings by supporting them during family transitions and by celebrating the service of their U.S. military family member.  According to the 2023 National Military Family Association survey of U.S. military family members, almost 85% of military families report there are limited local health and human service providers available to support our U.S. military families through military life transitions, especially in the area of mental wellness, due in part to the lack of knowledge of the challenges facing our U.S. military families.  Teachers, health and human service professionals, U.S. military support units, and U.S. military family members are encouraged to contact us to schedule a visit!


​Examples of experiences provided by our U.S. military veteran therapy dog teams that have been enjoyed by our U.S. military children may include:

• Visiting a U.S. military child's school classroom to celebrate the child & their U.S. military family member

• Supporting U.S. military unit family days

• Provide a calming presence during individual school counseling/therapy sessions

We accept grants from organizations such as Our Military Kids to enroll in either small group or private classes.

What Our Clients Are Saying:

My daughter struggles with interpreting and demonstrating non-verbal communication skills, often becoming frustrated at school.  Working with you and your therapy dog seems to engage my daughter in a way others can't, supporting my daughter physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally.  We are so grateful, thank you!"
I got a dog to help lower stress in our family, not make it more stressful by trying to train the puppy. With your knowledge of symptoms of anxiety in both my kids and myself, you were able to give us doable dog training exercises that both the kids and the puppy truly enjoy, and have made all of our lives so much better!  We can't thank you enough!"
