RIVERSIDE DOG THERAPY PROGRAM
PHILOSOPHY

PHILOSOPHY 

​

At Riverside Dog Therapy, we believe in the transformative power of connection between people and dogs. Our program offers a unique and compassionate approach to mental health recovery, particularly for young people and their families. By fostering meaningful bonds between participants and therapy dogs, we aim to create an environment that encourages healing, trust, and emotional growth.

​

Our work is grounded in the belief that healing is not just a process but a journey, one that is enriched through genuine companionship and the deep, unconditional support of animals. Through our program, we strive to create a positive, lasting impact on the lives of young people, fostering resilience, emotional balance, and a stronger sense of self-worth, while empowering families to move forward in their mental health recovery.
