Archie turned 1!! Thanks to all who came out for Archies' big day at Mary Greeley Medical Center! He enjoyed dog bone cake, tons of presents and being around his friends, including Ames Police Department Crisis K9 Penny and handler Sgt. Christian. Thanks to everyone who put in time and effort in putting this all together. Thanks also to Crisis Canines of the Midlands for all that you do and have done for communities across Iowa and the country.
Training and implementing a program like a Crisis K9 takes a lot of effort and support. Archie and his training have been made possible by gifts to the Mary Greeley Foundation mgmc.org/foundation

Archie made the most of his day off yesterday. Just like Archie, it's important to take time for yourself and be outside. Sunshine is good for the soul. Be well!

May is Mental Health Awareness month. ARCH and Archie the Mary Greeley Crisis K9 want to encourage you to and take care of your own mental health. Whether it's taking time to look out a window at the May sky, or reaching out to someone for help, or just finding a friendly K9 to pet, know that you are not alone. Thanks to LuLu London for the custom green bandana, and for what you do for mental health. Thanks to all our friends who support mental health

This was so fun! We spent time at NCSD training for using K9s for Critical Incident Stress Management and peer to peer interactions. Thanks Crisis Canines of the Midlands and Iowa Department of Public Safety for your expertise and NCSD Cardinals for hosting.
