Paws with Sanctuary
Helping caregivers talk to kids about their feelings, experiences, and mental health
Paws with Sanctuary is a story series intended to help caregivers talk to the children in their lives about their feelings, experiences, and mental health. The dogs that inspire these stories are real—though their stories may be slightly exaggerated ?
In “Barley Bean Gets a Sister” we’ll see how older siblings can struggle with emotional regulation when new additions come home and the ways that caregivers can show up for them during these transitions.
Stay tuned for the next installation in our story series!
This story was brought to you through the Child and Adolescent Program at Sanctuary Centers of Santa Barbara.
