Healing Species

We're the nation's first proven-effective violence prevention program reaching youth and addressing issues of the heart to overcome abuse, bullying, and crime – with the assistanceof rescued dogs whom no one else wanted. Eleven innovative lessons and a service project are implemented with 4th-12th graders in classroom or small group settings, empowering youth to rise above the actions of others and change things for themselves and those around them. Healing Species Violence Prevention has reached over 24,000 youth since our inception in 1999 at over 120 sites.
