How Can HOPE AACR Help? |
|
HOPE
Animal-Assisted Crisis Response is
prepared to lend assistance to First Response Agencies by
sending Certified Animal-Assisted Crisis Response Teams where
you need them most. Our response teams help to calm people
affected by a crisis situation. The calming nature of
our dogs help to redirect people while first responders
can secure the scene. Our teams have served in many capacities
over the past few years. Here's a few examples of how HOPE AACR
can assist your agency: |

consisting of canines and handlers that are trained and tested
to be able to respond under stresses of crisis response work.

Stress
Management
is an important consideration for first responders. HOPE AACR
Teams can help provide needed relief for your staff, without
saying a word.
Interacting with calm, well-mannered dogs is known to help
decrease heart rate, lower blood pressure, and helps first
responders to
unwind in a simple, yet effective way. |

"Each and every firefighter had a positive reaction to
your teams and it helped greatly with our grief. I'm a
pretty big guy and a bit rough around the edges and yet
I found myself hugging the dogs and found it so
comforting in my time of grieving. I want to commend
you and your teams, and want to thank you so very much
for coming to our aid." |
