Paws for Mental Health

Paws for Mental Health is an organization that seeks to promote mental health through canine companions. The unconditional love of a dog can relieve feelings of stress, anxiety, and/or depression. However, having a dog is oftentimes not a viable option to students here at UC Berkeley. Our objective is to host regular gatherings and events of local dogs along with their owners and other students to provide a positive and safe space for de-stressing and relaxing. This can allow for students to forget about the daily rigors of academia and unwind. This group Paws for Mental Health was formerly named De-Stress with Dogs - 9/25/20 IZ (PLC)
