Victim Services Toronto delivers immediate crisis response to those affected by crime and sudden tragedies.

That’s where Dandy comes in.

She’s Toronto’s very first Trauma Dog, providing the unconditional comfort and needed distraction from the agony of grief and trauma – with a great focus on children and youth.

I hope this program expands in the future and I encourage Torontonians to learn more about @VSToronto's important work: https://t.co/Vqr1NNxTy5

[Jennifer McKelvie @mckelvieAJAX]

Today, Dandy the Trauma Dog from @VSToronto paid City Hall a visit.

Dandy is Toronto's very first Trauma Dog and she provides much needed support and comfort to individuals - especially children - struggling with the hardships of grief and trauma.

I am extremely grateful to Victim Services Toronto for providing this incredible resource to Torontonians in need and encourage Torontonians to learn more here: https://t.co/Vqr1NNxTy5

1 in 5 high school students report being physically or sexually abused by an intimate partner.

The time to do something about that shocking statistic is now.

As we remember those who have lost their lives to addiction, we call out to those who are currently struggling. You are not your addiction. You are not beyond help and care. We are here to listen.

If you or someone you know needs support, call our Crisis Team at 416-808-7066.

[Victim Services @VSToronto]

Sometimes a long walk and a bit of sunshine can help you get through a tough day. No one knows this better than Dandy!
