Compassion Education™ Curriculum Program
Healing Species is the first student intervention program in the nation addressing issues of the heart to overcome violence, bullying and crime – with the assistance of rescued dogs – dogs nobody else wanted. Healing Species is the “first of its kind” and paving a new standard among results-oriented programming.
- The Healing Species reaches children and teens with a message of hope and healing. Even children who have never been nurtured can learn how to heal and then nurture others, thus intercepting the cycle of cruelty, abuse, and neglect.
- Students learn life skills in self-esteem, conflict resolution, anger management, empathy, and respect for all life.
- The Healing Species curriculum is designed for public and private schools, incarceration facilities, youth rehab programs, and other venues
- Our Parent Connections class allows parents to learn these same skills, while creating opportunities to engage with their children
Our proven-effective and evidence-based program is an in-depth and interactive approach to:
- Empathy Education
- Violence Prevention, Intervention and Victim Assistance
- Character Education
- Bullying Prevention
The innovative approach to engaging youth with stories, exercises, videos, and discussion centered around rescued animals leads students to discover and practice:
- Life-lessons in respect for the feelings of others
- Appropriate ways to respond to a bully
- How to gain power by leading with acts of kindness, respect and “rising above the actions of others”
- Age-appropriate awareness on abuse and how to get help
- Methods for conflict resolution
- Self-esteem from developing responsibility
- Responsible choices lead to good consequences
- How to take the initiative and follow-through to create a more compassionate planet for self and others
- Empowers youth to not “give up”, “drop out” or return “hate for hate”
Each lesson is delivered by professional, trained instructors with a temperament-tested rescued dog and addresses the root causes of prevalent student and school problems:
- Bullying
- Substance Abuse
- Poor Academic Performance
- Aggressive Behavior and Other Discipline Problems
