I would agree with Katie, long overdue! I rather wish that ASO's, veterinarians, or any other public servant who often comes into job obligations v moral obligations and has to be a part of vicarious trauma had mandatory mental health checks ...

As you might imagine, elderly do often fall into that category. As Animal Services, ...
