PTSD can show up in children in unexpected ways:
Trouble concentrating
Avoidance of certain places or people
Intense emotional outbursts
If you see these signs in a child, know that help is available. Together, we can help them find peace and healing. #PTSDAwareness #HealingWithServiceDogs #ServiceDogsForKids
Behind every survivor is a story of strength and resilience. Be kind, be patient, and never underestimate the courage it takes to heal. Together, we can foster hope and healing. 💙 #EmpathyMatters #HealingTogether #ServiceDogsForKids
Childhood trauma changes the brain—but healing can reverse those effects. Psychiatric service dogs help by reducing stress, providing comfort, and helping kids stay grounded during tough moments. At Service Dogs For Kids, we see the transformation every day. 🧠💙 #TraumaHealing #ServiceDogsForKids #BreakingTheCycle

Here's a recipe for you to try out! Courtesy of Gemma's Bigger Bolder Baking website
Ingredients:
10 fresh strawberries , chopped
1 medium , ripe banana
1 cups (10oz/280g) natural plain yogurt (low fat, non fat)
Instructions
Mash the strawberries using a potato masher. You want very small pieces of fruit so your dog can swallow it easily.
Add in the banana and continue to mash, almost to puree
Stir in the yogurt and mix all ingredients until well-combined.
Pour the mixture into freezer safe air-tight containers and then freeze for a minimum of 4 hours but preferably overnight. Ice cube trays are good to make small portions.
Take treating your dog a step further by turning it into an ice cream sundae party!
Keep the Ice Cream in the freezer for 8 weeks.
* If you want the ice cream to be scoopable use Greek/Strained yogurt.
