Weekly Community Conversations - Understanding Domestic Violence to Support Survivors and Their Pets

When:  Oct 7, 2024 from 11:00 AM to 11:50 AM (PT)
Associated with  Animal Welfare Professionals

Topic: Understanding Domestic Violence to Better Support Survivors and Their Pets

The human-animal bond holds immense health benefits, particularly for survivors of trauma. In many cases, survivors view their pets as their sole source of love and security, often delaying leaving an abusive situation to protect their animals. This workshop aims to address these critical considerations when supporting survivors and their pets. It will provide insights on navigating this complex dynamic, ensuring not only the survivor's well-being but also addressing the essential care and support required for their pets. By discussing these aspects, the workshop aims to equip individuals with a deeper understanding and practical strategies to offer comprehensive support to both survivors and their animal companions.
