Thanks for the question @Jill Sajec.
At the 2024 International Veterinary Social Work Summit, Rocky Lucas, MSW, LICSW, and Scott Campbell Veterinary Chaplain presented, "Fostering Collaborative Care and Community Impact: The Synergy of Veterinary Social Work and Veterinary Chaplaincy". @Augusta O'Reilly, can you connect Jill/us (the forum) to those speakers?

Subject: Veterinary/Animal Chaplaincy
I am wondering if anyone here has heard of Veterinary or Animal Chaplaincy? I am a trined hospital chaplain, and have been offering Spiritual Care in various forms (schools, non-profits, hospitals) for 20+ years. I am working on brining chaplaincy to the Veterinary and Animal Caregiving/welfare world. There is a new organization: American Association of Veterinary Chaplains (aavchap.org), that I am a member of, with other professionals doing the same things.
Just curious, if this is something that anyone has heard of, or is this something that is of interest to those in the veterinary field?
