About this Event
Pawsitive Energy is a free community mental health and wellness event designed to help you reset, recharge, and reduce stress through joyful therapy dog interaction.
This uplifting experience features certified therapy dogs from The Go Team Therapy Dogs, offering gentle, supportive play therapy proven to boost mood, increase serotonin, and promote emotional well-being. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply in need of a moment of joy, this event provides a calming, welcoming space for connection and stress relief.
Why Dogs for Mental Health?Therapy dog interaction is one of the most researched and effective forms of natural mood regulation.
Just a few minutes with a trained therapy dog can:
Increase serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin (feel-good chemicals)
Reduce cortisol (stress hormone)
Lower anxiety and blood pressure
Improve mood and emotional stability
Provide grounding and comfort during overwhelm
Support trauma recovery and emotional regulation
Help people feel safe, connected, and calm
Therapy dogs create a nonjudgmental, soothing environment where people can relax, breathe, and experience joy — especially helpful during stressful seasons, school pressure, work burnout, or emotional fatigue.
This is why events like Pawsitive Energy are powerful mental-wellness tools — they deliver real emotional relief in a warm, simple, accessible way.
Hosted at Ivywild School, Pawsitive Energy is open to all ages and is part of Think Positive Club’s mission to make mental wellness experiences accessible, community-centered, and stigma-free.
This event is free to attend.
Donations are encouraged for those who wish to support Go Team Therapy & Think Positive Club’s ongoing mental health and wellness programs in Colorado Springs.
Come experience the healing power of animals, positive connection, and community.
