NEW ‘PAWSITIVE CHANGE’ PROGRAM AIMS TO HEAL THROUGH STORY SHARING

Hi friends! Reef the fox here with your weekly “Reef’s Report.” I have some breaking news for you out of Key Largo. 

My mother and founder of Pawsitive Beginnings, Nicole Navarro, officially launched a new program for facilities in Monroe County that have a mission in helping individuals heal, recover and live purposeful lives. We have established partnerships with Kinder in the Keys Treatment Center and the Florida Keys Children’s Shelter. Since those have proven to be successful, the “Pawsitive Change” program is now live.

“Pawsitive Change” is a program born out of an idea that sharing stories of survival from a fox’s perspective has the power to help heal those who may be struggling with trauma, PTSD or circumstances beyond one’s control that have placed them in emotional imbalance. Our foxes have a story to tell, and when we share those stories, they have the power to heal and inspire hope.

This program is available free of charge to organizations committed to helping individuals on their recovery journey.

How it works 

We bring one of our foxes to your facility and share their individual story as well as the stories of our other foxes. Clients or residents have the opportunity to ask questions, and at the end of the time, have the opportunity to get up close and personal with our fox.

If you would like to discuss bringing this program into your facility or business, please reach out to my mom at nicole@pawsitivebeginnings.org. Right now this is only offered for our fabulous Florida Keys community, from Key Largo to Key West. 

Until next time, Reef, over and out!
