Jamie Larcombe Centre thanks to Royal Society for the Blind
- last year
Veterans receiving treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at the Jamie Larcombe Centre have a new, four-legged friend to support them on the road to recovery.
The Adelaide veterans health centre was named after Kangaroo Island soldier Jamie Larcombe, killed in action in Uruzgan Province, Afghanistan, on Feb. 19, 2011, aged 21 years.
Quattro, a four-year-old Labrador bred and trained by See Differently through its OPK9 program, has become the first therapy dog to be placed in a veterans mental health facility in South Australia.
Bright eyed and bushy tailed, Quattro is working with veterans and staff at the Jamie Larcombe Centre thanks to a partnership between Southern Adelaide Local Health Network, which operates the Centre, and See Differently.
The centre's newest recruit supports veterans to manage their anxiety in therapy sessions.
