Comfort Dog

Winnie is the newest addition to the team at Northern Essex, working with Campus Police, Student Life, and other departments to offer support and comfort to members of the NECC community dealing with crisis or trauma.

Winnie is being trained to assist in calming situations, alleviating anxiety, and providing aid in mental health scenarios. She contributes to outreach efforts and community involvement initiatives at NECC. Regular visits to each campus are part of Winnie’s routine.

When not reporting for duty on campus, Winnie lives with Lt. Keith Walker.
