Shelter Learniverse and Industry-Wide Calendar

National Kitten Coalition Presents: What do you do when you find a kitten that has been found outside exposed to the elements?  What issues do you need to address immediately before you ever offer a kitten a bottle? In this free webinar from The National Kitten Coalition, we’ll discuss how to recognize hypo- and hyperthermia, hypoglycemia, dehydration and more, and get you the information you need to start intervening for your kitten right away.

Massachusetts Animal Coalition Presents: The nature of animal work means that we are susceptible to compassion fatigue.  This includes the moral stress that is an unavoidable part of this work. And trauma – both personal and occupational – can play a role in how we react to stressful situations.  It helps to understand what compassion fatigue is and how it can creep into our daily work. Each attendee should come out of this presentation with a better understanding of his/herself and his/her role at the shelter and in the larger animal welfare community. Specific tools will be provided for creating a plan for working toward balance and emotional health in a very difficult field.  There will be a 15-minute Q&A discussion at the end.
