If you haven’t experienced poor mental health first hand, it can be hard to comprehend the devastating impact it can have upon the individual, their relationships and their families.
Our Special Friends supports Mental Health Awareness Week and recognise that mental wellbeing and the ability to cope at times of vulnerability can be enhanced enormously by the support of an animal companion. An animal can bring the silent comfort that is sometimes needed at a very low point, or bring a life-line to help someone cope through one of the toughest times they have ever had to face in their life.
Our collaborative approach with local networks and specialist services can sustain independent wellbeing through our early intervention, thus alleviating a problem before it becomes acute or life threatening.
