Allianz, the Worldwide Insurance Partner of the Olympic & Paralympic Movements, today celebrated Olympic Day by launching global programs designed to provide more confidence and mental health support to members of the Olympic and Paralympic Family as well as the broader professional athlete community as they prepare for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games and beyond. From access to a squad of emotional support dogs to an interactive mentoring and skill development program to prepare for life after competition, Allianz is committed to supporting Olympic & Paralympic athletes when and where they need it most. The past year took a heavy toll on the mental health of athletes everywhere as they experienced competition delays, isolation from family and friends, injuries and career uncertainty. To provide an extra boost to world-class athletes along their journey, Allianz is introducing a new initiative called the Allianz Support Dog Squad. In association with non-profit organisations Love on 4 Paws and Little Angels, Allianz will provide a squad of 50+ trained emotional support dogs to international skateboarders training in Los Angeles as they prepare for their Olympic debut as well as other upcoming international competitions – including Leticia Bufoni (Brazil) and Dashawn Jordan (US). Over the course of multiple sessions and weeks, Leticia, Dashawn and other attending skateboarders will participate in interactive sessions with emotional support dogs that are designed to enhance their mental health by reducing stress and anxiety, easing loneliness and increasing optimism, and elevating their overall self-esteem before they compete. Four-time Olympian, mental health advocate and passionate dog owner, Lindsey Vonn, has also teamed up with Allianz as a global ambassador to shine a spotlight on mental health and share her own experiences and advice as well as Allianz resources with Leticia and Dashawn that will help build their confidence.
