Hi everyone,
Part one of 'The Human Side of Shelter Work' with @Valerie Bogie had our highest EVER number of live attendees at a Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection webcast, confirming that so many of us are interested in supporting the human side of the equation when it comes to helping animals.
Most of us in the animal shelter world are there because we love animals. But what about all of the human emotions and situations that come with the job? In this session, Valerie Bogie, MSSW, Veterinary Social Worker, discusses some of the toughest emotional challenges shelter workers face- and how to navigate them with care and compassion.
Attendees will learn:
● How communicating with clients & co-workers impacts well-being
● An overview of types of grief and current grief models to support emotional processing
● The emotional toll of euthanasia and how to care through it
● Tools to support yourself and your team through emotionally complex situations
This webinar is for anyone working in or around animals in shelters. You are not alone - and you can work towards a more sustainable career.
Part two of this free series with veterinary social worker, Valerie Bogie, was on Thurs Oct 23 at noon PT/3 pm ET.
