Paws4Minds are located in Hull. We mainly cover East Yorkshire & Northern Lincolnshire but are happy to travel across the UK with our services

 

Paws4Minds is an organisation where we know mental health & wellbeing is crucial for every individual, organizations & society. Without good mental health people struggle. We are seeing more people struggling  with their mental health & we are here to help.

​

People invest large amounts of money towards their physical health & appearance but often forget about their mind and mental health. If we look after, understand & improve our mental health, this also helps our physical health during the long term.

​

Our key service is our  pet-assisted well-being and emotional support with the help of their well-being dog, Noodle. We offer services to various sectors, including health, education, companies, and organizations. They provide 1-2-1 support for individuals as well. Noodle's magic as a therapy dog is used to help as many people as possible. The organization offers pet therapy services where organizations and individuals can book visits from Noodle. These interactions with dogs have been scientifically proven to boost mental health.

Here are some of the ways Noodle can make a positive impact:

 

• Workplace Visits: Noodle can visit your workforce to improve morale, provide stress relief, and focus on mental health in the workplace. They can also help spot signs of mental ill-health and debunk myths about mental health.

• Hospital Visits: Noodle brings smiles to patients in hospitals, helping reduce stress and anxiety.

• Care Home Visits: Noodle's calm and gentle presence benefits residents in care homes. They can be stroked, groomed, and engaged with through play.

• 1-2-1 Pet Therapy: Noodle combats loneliness, aids recovery from ill health, and improves mental well-being during individual visits.

• Community Visits: Paws4Minds is happy to visit community groups and events.

• School Visits: Noodle interacts well with children. We can come in and help support children who may suffer with neuro diverse conditions, help children who may be suffering emotionally and we can even teach children about canine body language to reduce the risk of dog bites in the future.

• Remember that dogs are scientifically proven to help improve mental health!

​

 Paws4Minds designs mental health & wellbeing courses for people of all ages.  We can create courses for organisations that are specifically for their workforce.

 

Paws4Minds also provides online courses for individuals to join & work alongside other people.

We are non judgemental & we provide a safe space to learn, discuss & ask questions.

 

Our aim is to reduce the stigma, false ideas & create a more empathetic attitude towards mental health & wellbeing.
