Montauk and Me: Crisis-Response Canines in MIH
10/31/2019
The Santa Fe Fire Department’s MIH office works with the most vulnerable populations in the city, including patients who are medically and mentally fragile. In many cases they mistrust the people proposing to help them. In order to facilitate renewed trust, we enlisted the help of Montauk, a yellow Labrador retriever. He accompanies us on outreach visits and calms our patients throughout our time together. From establishing an initial relationship to subsequent interactions, Montauk has been a tremendous asset. This presentation will overview the SFFD’s MIH office and how Montauk has been an excellent addition to the team.
