K9 First Responders
58 River Street, Milford, CT 06460
Specialized canine teams providing psychosocial support to the victims of disaster, catastrophe or violence and help foster resilience of communities and individuals.
The first contact with an impacted individual is important. If managed in a respectful and compassionate way, it can help establish an effective helping relationship and increase the person’s receptiveness to further help. The use of dogs encourages and promotes this connection and engagement process.
