Paws Forward Mental Health Support

Born from the acute needs of NM Veterans during the pandemic, ;Paws Forward is a multi-faceted program focusing on mental health and suicide prevention. Providing catered clinical services, peer support, and case management, Veterans enrolled in our programs learn life skills that create increased self-awareness in their environments. Our programs provide the insight necessary to deal with stressors that come with everyday civilian life including finances, career challenges, navigating to receive medical/mental health care, caring for children and maintaining healthy relationships while aiming to decrease dangerous thoughts and behaviors including suicide, self-harm, domestic violence, and substance use.  In addition to traditional support services, staff also offer non-traditional methods such as art therapy, yoga, movement therapy, mindfulness and meditation, and self-care education.
