One of my favorite organizations is The Lola Project.
The Lola Project works on raising awareness about mental health and illness and the benefits of psychiatric service dogs.
Wonderful organizations like The Lola Project thrive and are supported by donations. Last month they had their 2nd Annual Spring On The Education Event.
Since this event was in New York and I live in Minnesota I was unable to attend and help support this organization. So with my mom's help we sent a donation to help the efforts of The Lola Project. In return The Lola Project sent me one of their goodie bags they had left over from the event as a thank you.
I encourage you to learn mare about The Lola Project: Website, Facebook Page, Twitter account, or their Etsy shop.
You can purchase your very own "Not All Disabilities Are Visible" bandana to help bring awareness to mental health and illness.
You can check out my previous post about The Lola Project here.

DeleteThe Lola Project sounds awesome!! I love reading about how dogs can be used for all sorts of things - autism, depression, anxiety, OCD, the list goes on. It really is amazing. Have you read a book called The Possibility Dogs? It's one of my faves.
ReplyDeleteI wrote a post about the effect my dog has on my depression, if you're interested: http://secondchances4animals.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-healing-power-of-pets.html

DeleteWhat a pawsome organization. I'm definitely going to look more into them. Psychiatric service dogs are fascinating to me. Atka is on his way to be a therapy dog to visit people with mental illnesses, but service dogs have such amazing capabilities. I've seen people with PTSD do a complete 180 when a service dog enters their life. They are given an amazing peace of mind.
ReplyDeleteEvery type of service and therapy dogs are amazing and do great work! Thank you so much for stopping by and learning more about his wonderful organization! :)
