Pawsitive Haven™
Mental Health Support for Pet Owners
Finding Strength Together
Below is a preview of the program that we will be starting as soon as our building is complete. We would be grateful for any support to make this dream a reality for our community! Visit our Donate page to help us reach our goal!
Pets bring immeasurable joy and companionship to our lives, but being a pet owner also comes with unique challenges, especially when facing mental health issues, hospitalization, or escaping domestic violence. At Pawsitive Haven, we understand the profound impact that pets have on our well-being and the importance of keeping families together during difficult times. That's why we're here to provide a safe and supportive space for pet owners to find strength, share their experiences, and receive the help they need while ensuring their pets are cared for.
Why Pawsitive Haven?
- A Community Built on Understanding: Our Pawsitive Haven program is a community of pet owners who understand the bond between humans and animals. Here, you'll find a compassionate and empathetic group of individuals who can relate to your experiences, challenges, and triumphs, creating an environment where everyone feels supported.
- Mental Health Support: We recognize that life can sometimes be overwhelming, and the demands on your mental health can be significant. Our program offers a range of mental health resources, including support groups, one-on-one counseling, and educational materials tailored specifically to pet owners, as well as temporary housing for your furry family while you seek inpatient treatment for mental health issues, medical hospitalizations, or escape from domestic violence situations. Our goal is to ensure that you can focus on your recovery without the added stress of worrying about your pet's wellbeing.
- Strength in Numbers: Through Pawsitive Haven, you'll find strength in the power of community. By connecting with fellow pet owners, you'll discover that you're not alone in your struggles. Together, we can navigate the ups and downs and build a strong support network that promotes healing and reunification with your beloved pets.
