Trauma Response Emotional Assistance Team

Who we are and what we do

We are a dedicated trauma response team comprised of trained volunteer handlers and certified therapy dogs, committed to providing emotional assistance, comfort, connection, and calm in times of crisis. Specializing in trauma response, our mission is to bring emotional support and a sense of safety to individuals and communities affected by traumatic events.


Whether responding to natural disasters, critical incidents, or personal loss, our therapy dogs serve as gentle, nonjudgmental companions—helping to ease anxiety, reduce stress, and create moments of peace amid chaos. Our work is grounded in compassion, professionalism, and a deep belief in the healing power of the human-animal bond.


We partner with first responders, mental health professionals, schools, hospitals, and community organizations to provide both immediate and ongoing support. Each visit is thoughtfully tailored to the unique needs of those we serve—because in the face of trauma, connection matters.

Responding to a critical incident, disaster or community trauma? Request a trained volunteer TREAT team for compassionate, professional support.
