Join the Vancouver Humane Society and three expert panelists on Wednesday, June 14th at 9:00 am PDT for an enlightening 60-minute webinar on the field of veterinary social work and its transformative impact on the animal services industry. Designed for professionals and organizations working in humane societies, shelters, veterinary clinics, rescues, and related fields, this webinar aims to foster cross-sector collaboration and promote the well-being of both workers and animal guardians.

In this 60-minute virtual event, a panel of esteemed experts will delve into the realm of veterinary social work. Two panelists are veterinary social workers, equipped with the knowledge and experience to share real-life examples of how their work has positively influenced animal service organizations. The third panelist is a registered social worker on the path to becoming a veterinary social worker, providing a fresh perspective on the evolving nature of this field.
