Paws & Reset
Where movement, mental wellness and the human-animal connection come together.
Paws & Reset is a collaborative wellness series from Paws for Mental Health, a Parachutes for Pets program, and Neurofit. Bringing together accessible movement, mental wellness tools, and meaningful interaction with animals in one welcoming experience.
At the heart of every Paws & Reset session are the dogs. Paws for Mental Health dogs are active participants in the experience. Rather than being separate from the class, they move throughout the space, interact with participants, and become part of the session itself - bringing connection, comfort, playfulness, and plenty of opportunities to pause, engage, and simply enjoy being together.
By combining movement, mental wellness, and the human-animal connection, Paws & Reset creates another way to care for your wellbeing - because supporting your mental health doesn't have to look just one way.
A Different Approach to Wellness
Taking care of your mental health doesn't always have to begin in a clinical setting - and it doesn't have to look the same for everyone.
Paws & Reset was created to make wellness feel more approachable, accessible, and engaging. By bringing movement, mental wellness, and the human-animal connection into one space, we're creating another way for people to take an active role in their wellbeing - without the pressure of a traditional fitness or clinical environment.
Every session is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and try something different. Through movement, breathing, cognitive challenges, social connection, and time with the dogs, participants are able to explore practical ways to manage stress, build confidence, feel more present and discover what truly helps them feel their best. It can also simply be a chance to step away from the day-to-day, spend time with others, move, laugh, and enjoy being in the moment.
You Don't Have to Be an Athlete
Paws & Reset isn't about being the strongest, fastest or most coordinated person in the room. You don't need gym experience, and you don't need to already consider yourself active or "fit." Movement can be adapted for different bodies, abilities, ages, and comfort levels.
The goal isn't to keep up with anyone else - it's to participate at your own level, try something new, and discover what feels good and useful for you.
Whether movement is already part of your life or you're trying something like this for the first time, you're always welcome.
Wellness for Every Age
Paws & Reset is adapted for children, youth, adults, and older adults, with activities and movement tailored to the needs of each group. A session for a group of students may look very different from one designed for adults or older adults.
Wellness isn't one-size-fits-all. By combining adaptable movement, mental wellness activities, cognitive challenges, and animal interaction, each Paws & Reset experience is shapeda round the people participating.
