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 “Joey’s First Day at the Office” we’ll meet a lot more of the Sanctuary puppy crew! And, we’ll see how Joey handles the anxiety of her first day in the office and how we can all better support those in stressful situations like hers.
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.
