About the Workshop
This workshop will provide attendees with the tools needed to stay resilient as they face the day-to-day challenges of their work in the animal protection field. The workshop will provide participants with a shared language and understanding of the causes and symptoms of compassion fatigue as well as a suite of skills to become a non-anxious presence, and that can be used to build and maintain a healthy and intentional culture of skillful communication, openness, and personal responsibility. Participants will also have the opportunity to create a personal plan of action.
This webinar is geared toward those in the animal protection field, whether as volunteer or staff, in shelters, animal control/humane law enforcement, spay/neuter clinic, advocacy, sanctuary or wildlife rehabilitation, but is suitable for anyone in any caring profession.
