Not only are the people physically, but also with a severe mental illness can, with the help of an assistance dog is back to a somewhat normal life. However, it is a group of people with mental health problems who have such a dog, it has to be small. The reason: the cost. That can be very costly and are not covered by insurance.
On her birthday, He Liebrand (22) is always a bit of an emotional one. “We have a little bit of extra time,” she says in a video. “I’m going to ask for help.” This video is part of a crowdfundingactie that Liebrand action. The goal is to 19,000 euro for a psychiatric service dog to get things done.
Liebrand, faces since the age of fourteen with an anxiety disorder, and depression. “Working and studying does not work,” she says. “As well as a trip to the grocery store can be a huge feeling of fright.”
the Dog feels the stress is on
finally, She has her hopes set on an assistance dog. “Only to reimburse the municipality of Tilburg in the netherlands, where I live, it can’t be true,” she explains. “Well, I have money in my account. That’s why I have it in a different way from each other, to see for myself.”
Dogs do have the ability to sense when someone is in a stressful situation, ” says Jane Mourits. He works for a Bultersmekke Assistancedogs, a specialist in the field of assistance dogs. During the training of guide dogs, according to him, we have worked very hard on the bond between dog and owner.
“The dog will learn to feel when the guy you’re stressed out and you can do this as a warning, for example, with a short week.” He goes on to say: “This is the guy due to the stress of raids and the bosses here to take advantage of it.”
“People with PTSD may feel anxious when someone gets too close for comfort. The dog will feel it and will go next to buffer.” He Mourits
People who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (ptsd), or dissociative disorder, in which people are out of reality, act according to Mourits a lot of benefit from having a service dog. “People with PTSD may feel anxious when someone gets too close for comfort”, as an example. The dog senses this and is then buffered. This means that it is for the owner to stand. So, to keep people at a distance.”
He goes on to say: “as a Result, people with mental health problems, are more secure, and increases the fear of others.” Here’s hoping even Liebrand on it. “I often have moments of dissociation”, with , she said. “If I am at home, and I know not what I’ve come. Also, I have a strong feeling that I am somewhere in the way. For example, in the grocery store. I hope this feeling is me with a service dog and less overwhelmed.”
Costs are not refundable
According to Mourits and have a few of the hundreds of people around the world as a service dog for help with mental health problems. The question is much bigger than that, ” he said. This has a lot to do with the cost. The training of a service dog costs around a quick $ 20,000 and the insurance shall compensate only for people who are deaf, or blind, or with severe physical disabilities to summer camps. Only in a few municipalities, that is, a service dog also, and in the case of mental health problems, the Social Support Act will be funded.
“That’s dogs, dogs for people with mental health problems are able to help, it is a relatively new discovery. The regulatory environment is not yet ready for that.” He Mourits
“That’s dogs, dogs for people with mental health problems are able to help, it is a relatively new discovery. The regulatory environment is not yet ready for that,” says Mourits. “While this is a group with the help of a dog could do it, with the whole of society.”
it’s people like Liebrand may make a crowdfundingactie according to Mourits not, as a matter of course. “What He’s doing is very brave. This means that they must be open about their problems. Especially for people with mental health problems is very difficult. They are already in a vulnerable position.”
There Liebrand also have a lot to gain. “Now, I’m hardly doing anything because I’m afraid to have a panic attack,” she said. “I am confident that, with a dog to change in the near future.”
