Review for ECAD, Educated Canines Assisting with Disabilities, Torrington, CT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

ECAD has saved me. I started volenteering for my mental health as I have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and PTSD and going through Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I don't have many happy moments these days but every moment with an ECAD dog is the happiest time. I have really taken to being a volenteer. The staff is so friendly and wonderful. It is not often a new place feels "safe" for me but at ECAD I know I can be open and honest about my mental health. It's the place where my panic attack means a dog can improve their training. I don't feel broken when I am at ECAD. My disability feels like a strength. One of the best things in my life right now is Ecad. The picture is from the ECAD Facebook of me and the puppy Nova at training.
