Meet the team

Our therapy dog handlers (mentors) are certified professionals with qualifications in education, allied health, or social work. Each handler owns a dog over twelve months old and has experience working with a range of young clients. They are trained to provide mental health support for students through dog-assisted learning.

All team members must have AAT certification and relevant qualifications in education, allied health, or social work. Our therapy dog handlers and therapy dogs undergo rigorous training to ensure they can effectively support students' mental health and learning needs.

Our therapy dogs are carefully selected and trained to support students' emotional and social development. They play a crucial role in our educational programs with therapy dogs, helping students manage anxiety, improve social skills, and enhance overall well-being.
