  • 1.  invitation to participate in pilot program for grief, loss and compassion fatigue

    Posted 10-13-2023 08:47 AM

    UPDATE: FINAL DAY TO SUBMIT YOUR INFORMATION IS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20TH, 2023 😀

    Hi Everyone –

    I'd like to invite a few shelters/rescue groups to participate in a pilot program I'm offering.  The aim of the pilot is to gather feedback (mostly on systems/logistics and such) as well as testimonials from people who work and volunteer in this field.

    While there is no charge for anything to participate (and I will gift those in the pilot a lifetime membership so there will be no cost now or in the future) I do ask that those who work with me on this have a sincere and earnest desire to learn how what I'll be offering helps with grief, loss and compassion fatigue (instead of "what the heck I'll go because it's free).

    You can view my website here to see if it's something you're open to exploring for your community: 

    https://tappingtotherescue.com/

    I'm happy to have a Zoom/phone conversation with anyone who has questions and wants to find out if it would be a good fit for them.  You can email me at:  SLG@PawsitivelySpeaking.com

    Thank you!

    My best,

    SL

    I am a former program coordinator and current volunteer foster for a municipal, open admission shelter.  DO I qualify for participation?

    Hi SL!  I have tried to email three times and they are all bouncing back.  The first two times I sent to  SLG@PawsitivelySpeaking.com, so I went to your website and sent to the email listed there and it bounced too.  I wanted to post here incase it wasn't just me having this issue.  Quenby

    Hi Quenby -

    Gosh I am so sorry you're having that issue! I have received several other emails throughout the night so I'm not sure what's happening.  How about you private message me with your email address and then I can email you? That way we'll get connected for sure.

    Thank you!

    My best,

    SL

    This is great! We are looking at a clinical EFT pet loss support program as well. Nice work.
