The Psychiatric Service Dog Society (PSDS) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to responsible Psychiatric Service Dog (PSD) education, advocacy, research and training facilitation. We provide essential information for persons disabled by severe mental illness, who wish to train a service dog to assist with the management of symptoms. We consult regularly with mental healthcare providers in their efforts to learn more about PSD. We also host an online community of service dog handlers veteran and new. Please note: we do not provide or train dogs for individuals. We are an educational and capacity-building organization dedicated to responsible Psychiatric Service Dog community stewardship. Please visit our website again, as it is under development. Learn more about PSDS....

PSDS is pleased to announce the launch of Support Partners: Canine
Companions, co-sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company and PSDS. Often,
people with depression build a support network of family, friends and
their doctor as part of their first steps towards recovery. Now, Canine
Companions can show them how to expand their support team to include an
unexpected, but important companion - their dog. The Support Partners:
Canine Companions program is the newest component to Support Partners,
which encourages a support-team approach to overcoming depression.
