  • 1.  Mental Health Help

    Posted 10-28-2024 10:02 AM

    Hello!  I am now trying to help two Animal Control organizations get some kind of ongoing mental health help for their employees. I do have one therapist who has volunteered to meet with the group to discuss coping skills (great!) but am hitting a wall in trying to find funding for this. I don't think I need to sing to the choir here on how important this can be-- not only for the individual but for employee retention. I would appreciate all of your thoughts!

    Thank you!

    Thank you Jennifer!  That's perfect and I'll pass it onto them and a woman who wants to use her MSW in the Shelter world. 
    Very much appreciated!

    National Animal Care and Control Association (NACA) has a Mental Health First Aid course

    Mental Health First Aid Training for ACO Professionals | National Animal Care & Control Association

    This is a great resource.
