​Informative Speaking

Therapy dog services are commonly perceived as assistance dog services, but the two are vastly different. Nepean Therapy Dogs offers to inform groups and individuals in the community what our therapy dogs do, and how therapy dog services may be beneficial for them. Groups can hear the stories of our volunteers on how they have helped those around them through their therapy dog work.

Emergency Visits - Free Service Based on Availability

Nepean Therapy Dogs also offers therapy dogs in response to last minute calls. These include calls for individuals who have been in an emergency of some sort or are experiencing acute mental illness. Only our most experienced therapy dog teams make these visits as they are highly trained in these sensitive environments. This service assists in distracting individuals from the emergency and allow them to feel calm and happy.

Palliative Care - Free Service Based on Availability
 

Nepean Therapy Dogs is deeply sensitive to the needs of individuals—and their loved ones—who are entering a time when additional comfort and support are needed. Our specially trained therapy dog teams offer calm, gentle, and supportive private visits during this difficult period. The purpose of this service is to help shift the focus away from the fear of loss and instead remind people of the meaningful, comforting moments that can still be shared with a dog’s companionship.

Disaster Response

When natural or social disasters occur in the western Sydney community, Nepean Therapy Dogs is quick to respond to traumatic events and provide support to individuals who may be adversely affected. This service intends to take the attention away from the present trauma and allow individuals to have moments of peace and joy.
