Bust the Stigma
Help “bust the stigma” and bring awareness to biological brain disorders such as: anxiety, ADHD, depression, and bipolar disorder.
Millions of families across the world, from all backgrounds and economic levels, are touched by biological brain disorders. These disorders have a big “stigma” attached to them, often leaving families feeling alone and desperate for relief.
Unfortunately, there is no “cure” or clear “treatment path” for these brain disorders; as a result, families need ongoing support of the people and community around them. Bark 4 Care strives to lend support and care to families in need.
Why bark?
Bark shields and protects trees from the environment. It appears to be strong, yet it is delicate in nature.
The bark of a dog symbolizes the need to “speak out” for attention.
Many dogs also have a therapeutic effect with people.
