The therapy dog’s presence offers a unique, gentle form of support, helping students navigate challenges and feel more at ease throughout their school day.

Art & Music Therapy

These creative therapy sessions offer students unique outlets for self-expression, emotional growth, and personal healing. By engaging in art and music therapy, students can explore their emotions, build confidence, and develop coping skills in a safe and supportive environment. This partnership brings powerful tools to help students thrive both academically and personally.
