Guiding people on their journey through life and supporting their mental health with compassion, kindness, and personal understanding
Wellness won’t always come to you, often you have to “Go Fetch It”
Some ways we can help support you:
Mentoring and sharing lived experience to walk with people on their road to improving their mental health
Understanding your diagnosis and what you can do for yourself. Remembering, you are not your diagnosis
Learn to be your best best advocate
Whole person health
Complements to traditional treatment, like diet, alternative therapies, different exercise options
Peer support (people with lived experience helping each other) and how that may impact them
Reducing the overwhelm
Helping with decision making
Developing daily skills to fight depression and anxiety
Understanding the role a pet may play for your mental health
Understanding how relationships can impact our mental health
“Jeff and Earl were a wonderful support to my daughter, they help to change her view of herself.”
— Emily
" Jeff gave our keynote presentation to a standing room only crowd. We received numerous positive comments from students who found Jeff’s message to be supportive of their own experiences with depression and anxiety. They also reported being inspired by his mission to share the value of our relationships with animals in recovery from and treatment of mental illnesses. "

Alliance, Ohio" Everyone at the event was moved by the power of the documentary and Jeff’s hopeful message. Long after the formal presentation people lingered to talk to Jeff and pet Earl, meet various mental health services providers, connect with the Longmont Humane Society, and visit with representatives from service animal provider organizations "

Atlanta, GA" Jeff came to visit McLean hospital and was greeted by a standing room only crowd. His wonderfully interactive talk about the incredible power of the human-animal bond for reducing barriers that discourage people from seeking help. Jeff’s powerful story, coupled with his relatable and approachable speaking presence make him a wonderful fit for audiences looking to foster an opportunity and environment for open discussion about the often difficult topics related to mental health and wellness. I recommend Jeff to anyone looking for an engaging and meaningful discussion on mental health. "
