New Research to Evaluate the Effects of Station Dogs on Mental Health of First Responders

Leave a comment


“Previous research has found that facility dogs can reduce stress and provide emotional support for both staff and clients in schools, hospitals, and courthouses- but their effectiveness in police stations has been minimally studied,” explained Dr. Kerri Rodriguez, principal investigator for the project. “Our research hopes to describe how facility dogs may be similarly beneficial for promoting wellness within law enforcement.”

This study proposes to evaluate the impact of facility dogs, a type of therapy dog trained to provide daily comfort and support in a facility setting, as a workplace intervention in law enforcement stations. Researchers will use a cross-sectional study design to measure self-reported outcomes among an estimated 300 law enforcement officers across stations currently placed with a facility dog or on the waitlist to receive one. “Station Dogs” will be trained and placed free of cost by the non-profit organization K9s For Warriors, which has already placed over 40 Station Dogs in police and fire stations across the US.

Researchers hypothesize that the presence of a facility dog will be significantly associated with better self-reported outcomes among first responders working in local law enforcement stations, including less burnout, higher job satisfaction, and better mental health outcomes. Further, researchers will also measure how the human-animal bond with the facility dog may relate to these outcomes.

“We are grateful for the support and expertise of Pet Partners, which has joined with HABRI to fund research with real-world impact,” said Steven Feldman, President of HABRI. “This research project will provide mental health professionals, human resource professionals and policymakers with important data and best practices to deploy therapy animals in support of our first responders.”

About Pet Partners
Pet Partners is the leader in the therapy animal field for registering volunteer teams. Since 1977, we have supported thousands of teams in making millions of meaningful visits across the country and around the world. Through the human-animal bond, we can improve the physical, social, and emotional lives of both the people and animals involved. Pet Partners supports volunteer teams by offering the highest quality preparation, an unmatched approach to evaluation and registration—for nine different types of animals, and a focus on connections. We elevate the importance of therapy animal visits, and our teams help build a healthier and happier world for us all. Whether or not you have a pet, learn more about sharing the human-animal bond by visiting petpartners.org.

Leave a comment


“We are immensely grateful for the support the Newark community, JLH and Newark Alliance have shown towards BrownMill’s growth over the last few years,” said Justis Pitt-Goodson, co-founder and CEO of BrownMill Company. “We are excited for this crowdfunding campaign to continue our momentum and strengthen the impact our sustainable legacy will have on Halsey Street, Newark and beyond.”

BrownMill is a dedicated lifestyle brand, crafting high-quality, ethically conscious and environmentally friendly clothing that empowers men and women. The company is committed to minimizing its environmental footprint and employs ethical and eco-friendly production methods, source materials from trusted suppliers, and energy-efficient techniques. BrownMill also prioritizes community engagement and strives to make a positive global impact.

“The JLH Social Impact Fund is thrilled to support BrownMill Company’s continued growth and success through our dollar-for-dollar matching program,” said Lauren Holiday, co-founder of the Jrue and Lauren Holiday Fund. “JLH was formed with the mindset of paying it forward, and the community effort that has gone into this crowdfunding campaign has perfectly exemplified what we aim to do. With Newark Alliance’s additional support, BrownMill will be better positioned to reach their goal of raising $100,000 by the end of this year.”

Jrue and Lauren Holiday launched their Social Impact Fund in 2020 following the disruptions of the global COVID-19 pandemic and protests over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officers. Its mission is to combat systemic racism and socioeconomic inequality holding back Black communities. JLH supports local Black-led non-profit organizations, city-wide initiatives seeking equitable outcomes for Black and Brown communities, and historically Black colleges and universities in New Orleans, the Los Angeles area and Indianapolis.

“Newark Alliance is thrilled to be contributing $40,000 to the crowdfunding campaign through a dollar-for-dollar match” said Ashley Mays, Chief of Place and Real Estate for the Newark Alliance. “Halsey Street is a cultural and small business hub and BrownMill has made a tremendous positive impact on the community since its opening on Halsey Street two years ago. We are excited to be part of what’s to come for its continued growth and standing as a leading clothing brand in Newark and beyond.”

Halsey Street is a shopping and entertainment hub located in the heart of downtown Newark’s Arts and Education District. BrownMill Atelier became an anchor tenant of the street in June 2021 when it opened its first storefront. Since then, the company has been supported by NBA players, including Holiday, Dwayne Wade and Carmelo Anthony.

Shoppers can participate in BrownMill’s crowdfunding campaign by purchasing items on http://www.brownmill.co or visiting the store at 49 Halsey Street, Newark, N.J., throughout December.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Citeline Connect, the most comprehensive solution for clinical trial engagement and recruitment, is partnering with Science 37, a leader in the decentralized clinical trials industry, for recruitment of patients for additional clinical trial opportunities.

Citeline Connect provides access to a pipeline of clinical trial recruitment opportunities across therapeutic areas and geographies. This comprehensive, globally compliant platform and marketplace brings together trials in search of patients and healthcare organizations with patients seeking promising potential solutions to manage their conditions.

“As we approach the new year, diversity in clinical trials will continue to be an industry priority,” said Dave Laky, General Manager, Clinical & Regulatory at Citeline. “Our partnership with Science 37 will expand our ability to enroll study participants from diverse backgrounds. This, ultimately, will produce more robust results and help us achieve our overarching goal of ensuring patients have access to treatments.”

“By partnering with Citeline Connect, we have an important new ally in our mission to accelerate clinical research and enable universal access for patients,” said Erica Prowisor, SVP of Provider and Partner Networks at Science 37. “Our Metasite will enhance Citeline Connect’s network and expand the reach of traditional sites to enable more diverse and expansive patient populations to find clinical research opportunities and innovative treatment options.”
