About Paws4Minds

Trauma-Informed Practice Using the ARC Framework

Paws4Minds operates within the Attachment, Regulation and Competency (ARC) Trauma-Informed Framework, a recognised model used across education, therapeutic and justice settings.

Our programmes are structured around:

Attachment

Creating safe, consistent and trusting relationships.

Regulation

Teaching practical emotional regulation strategies, nervous system awareness and stress reduction techniques.

Competency

Developing resilience, behavioural regulation, decision-making and identity growth.

All interventions are structured, goal-led and outcome-focused.

 

Professional Animal Assisted Intervention (AAI) Services

Paws4Minds provides ethical and structured Animal Assisted Intervention services across [Your County].

Noodle, our trained therapy dog, supports emotional co-regulation and engagement within our trauma-informed framework.

Research supports that therapy dog interaction can:

• Reduce cortisol (stress hormone)

• Increase oxytocin (bonding hormone)

• Improve emotional safety

• Enhance engagement in learning

• Reduce anxiety levels

Importantly, Paws4Minds delivers structured mental health interventions — not unstructured dog visits.
