We’re pleased to welcome Mabel to Exeter Law School as part of our Pastoral Mentors Team. As a therapy dog(in training) she’ll be working alongside Sarah Street to offer emotional support and cuddles to students on Tuesdays.

This initiative is aimed at offering an extra layer of support and wellbeing for students – and staff if needed! Therapy dogs like Mabel are known to provide many benefits including:

  • Reducing stress and anxiety
  • Providing comfort during difficult conversations
  • Helping build trust and ease communication
  • Supporting emotional wellbeing
  • Encouraging positive interactions and lifting mood

Students are able to book a session with Mabel and Sarah to discuss anything that might be troubling them.
