Animal-Assisted Intervention Support Groups

We are the only nonprofit organization offering free clinician-led support groups with licensed therapy animals. Support groups are designed to complement ongoing eating disorder treatment (not to be used in place of); however, we acknowledge the gross systemic and financial barriers that prevent individuals from accessing the complete and culturally competent care they deserve.

​

At SoulPaws, trained clinicians and licensed therapy animals come together to create a healing space for people with mental health challenges. Our free support groups incorporate a variety of therapy animals, including dogs, miniature horses, guinea pigs, cats, rabbits, rats, and more.

​

While SoulPaws Workshops serve as a supportive tool in the process of recovering from mental health challenges, they are not meant to replace professional treatment.  A trained, professional treatment team with expertise in mental health is recommended.
