Pawsome Therapy

Not only is Honeybell our Director of Community Happiness and Wellbeing, but this dedicated canine is training to become Australia's first Neighbourhood House therapy dog!

As a Golden Retriever, it’s in Honeybell’s nature to be kind and friendly towards people. She can sense the emotional state of those around her and will snuggle all over to make anyone feel better. She is helping people build friendships and self-esteem and also allowing people to relax, be who they are, and connect with other people.

Morwell Neighbourhood House is a community organisation that aims to advance the public and social welfare of our community and takes a holistic approach to improving community health and wellbeing, so training Honeybell to be the first therapy dog specifically trained to work in an Australian Neighbourhood House just makes sense.

Bringing Cheer and Joy: the Honeybell Way!

In order to help people living with clinical depression, anxiety disorders, or those who want help reducing social isolation and enhancing their wellbeing, Honeybell Lollipop is here!

Honeybell, being the cute and adorable dog that she is, can easily uplift the mood of those who are feeling isolated, lonely, or distressed. Ask any pet owner, and you’ll know the joy that comes with spending time with an animal companion.

After all, when it comes to Honeybell, her favourite thing in the whole world is to snuggle. And snuggling with a furry friend has numerous mental and physical health benefits.

Feeling low once in a while is alright. But if this is something that has been going on a for a long time, you need to take this matter seriously. Believe it or not but 1 in every 5 Australian either suffers, or has suffered from some sort of mental illness in their lives. Depression and anxiety make the top of the list.

Evidence has shown visits from therapy dogs can help with:

Alleviating stress on individuals
Improving community connections
Lifting spirits and reducing depression
Decreasing feelings of isolation and alienation
Encouraging communication
Providing comfort
Increasing socialisation and sense of community
Reducing boredom
Decreasing anxiety

She has made such a positive impact on our work already. Once she's fully trained up as an emotional support dog, the impact is going to be immeasurable!
