Webinar – 3/13/25 – Maddie’s Insights: Helping the Helpers – Improving Shelter Staff Well-Being – Maddie’s Fund

March 13 @ 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PDT

Free

Shelters and rescue groups have shown great resilience, finding innovative ways to save animals despite major challenges. However, many workers face burnout and compassion fatigue, leading some to leave the field.

In 2023, Best Friends conducted the largest U.S. survey on shelter staff well-being. Nearly half of respondents reported high compassion satisfaction, and most plan to stay in their roles. Yet, over half showed high burnout, and over 90% had high compassion fatigue, raising concerns about staff well-being and the sustainability of lifesaving efforts.

This presentation will focus on positive solutions and how shelters can learn from veterinary well-being practices to support staff and volunteers.
