Therapy Dogs Help Kids With Trauma Tell Their Stories
Companions for Courage in Orlando, Florida, is a community outreach
program that provides therapy dogs for children who have experienced
trauma and need to confront that trauma in court. The dogs provide a
sense of security, creating a bond with child victims, giving them the
courage and confidence to face the court situation. The dogs enable the
children to stay calm and tell their stories. The children feel
protected with a big dog at their side as they face the reason for their
trauma. A dog truly can be their best friend in this challenging
experience.
