SUMMARY:National Shelter Medicine Rounds – 11/14/23 – Implementing More Positive\, Resource-based Field Services Operations – UW Shelter Medicine Program
DESCRIPTION:The University of Wisconsin Shelter Medicine Program is excited to announce the next installment of National Shelter Medicine Rounds! \nNational Rounds is a platform for discussion of current topics relevant to shelter medicine for continued learning and collaboration.  While primarily intended or shelter veterinarians\, others interested in shelter medicine are welcome to join; we believe everyone will take something away from these calls!  The national rounds call will take place Tuesday\, November 14 from 2:30 to 3:30 Central Time. \nAs discussed during our rounds conversation in August\, if we really want to change the experiences of the animals and the people we serve\, we need to think outside our shelter walls or the foster homes that make up our rescues.  \nJoin us for a continuation of the discussion on the connection between equity\, well-being\, resources\, and capacity. \nWe are grateful to have two guests join us for rounds next week. Angela Rayburn is the Operations Manager overseeing Field Services at Chicago Animal Care and Control and AJ Caldwell is a National Shelter Support Specialist with Best Friends Animal Society and comes to that role with a background of being an officer in municipal animal control. They will share their perspectives on efforts to implement more positive\, resource-based field services operations. \nWe hope to have an open discussion\, so come with questions and feel free to unmute to participate!  Our hope is to create a space that feels safe for all participants; we ask you to follow these Accountable Space guidelines. The presentation portion of National Rounds will be recorded\, but the discussion and Q & A sessions will not. \nIf you or someone you know would like to be added to the national rounds email list\,  please send your request to nationalsheltermedicinerounds@vetmed.wisc.edu. \nPlease use the following Zoom link to access National Rounds calls: https://uwmadison.zoom.us/j/97442637396 \nMeeting ID: 974 4263 7396\nOne tap mobile\n+13017158592\,\,97442637396# US (Washington DC)\n+13052241968\,\,97442637396# US \nZoom Meeting Link:  https://uwmadison.zoom.us/j/97442637396

Self-awareness\, personal accountability\, and relationship cultivation have been foundational as Jose navigates his career and life outside of work. At his first job with one of the largest animal shelters in the Arizona\, Jose learned the importance of developing emotional intelligence\, communication\, and people skills to build meaningful relationships that inspire and motivate people to work better together. In 2017\, after a decade of working to transform that organization\, Jose joined Best Friends Animal Society\, a national nonprofit organization where he served as the first Senior Director of People and Culture. \nAt Best Friends\, Jose was responsible for leading dynamic teams\, including Human Resources\, Learning and Staff Development\, Employee Experience\, and Organizational Culture initiatives\, and served as a strategic advisor to the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Leadership Team. Through collaboration\, change\, and innovative management\, Jose and his team stewarded a workplace culture that was employee- and value-centric. These efforts positioned Best Friends to win multiple Top Workplace Awards since 2020. \nIn 2023\, Jose launched Hatching\, a company centered around helping people #LiveBetter and #WorkBetter. Hatching’s vision is to create a more peaceful world by helping people live with more compassion\, gratitude\, and self-worth.  The goal of Hatching is to help people and organizations leverage their unique experiences and potential to make the workplace an environment where people can thrive. Jose believes that\, together\, we will make the world a better place by leading with intention\, authenticity\, and personal accountability. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYrc-yrqTwoEtUp4AzxOVdkbn59y7qpspQm#/registration

You can register for this event\, here. \nWhat is Deep Listening? Deep Listening is a way of being and walking in this world with true aliveness and balance. Through the art and practice of deep listening we begin to sense\, see and feel the world in a way that invites wholeness\, healing and harmony within us\, around us and in relationship with each other. We practice listening inwardly\, outwardly and between the spaces with deep presence for what is being said\, in words\, through our bodies\, in silence\, in vibrations and in energy. We hope you will join us! \nMarilou is a certified somatics coach\, mindfulness and qigong practitioner and an experienced facilitator of circles. She is a founding member of Deep Listening for Social Change/DLSC a peaceful action group that was formed by members of the Twin Cities BIPOC mindfulness community in response to the murder of George Floyd in 2020. Marilou is a survivor of sexual abuse and partner violence. Her healing journey from her addiction to alcohol and struggles with depression began in 1988 with the unplanned arrival of her first dog into her life. Her best medicine and teacher arrived in the body of an 8 week old black cocker spaniel puppy. She attributes her decades of sobriety to her dogs. Marilou is committed to creating and holding safe and brave spaces where we allow wounded parts of ourselves to be seen\, heard and held\, and where we can collectively and lovingly support each other and make room for healing\, joy and aliveness. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIqce6srTorEtKf46R-cLxNK87UM7KnJv0c#/registration

We’ll shine a light on the physical and emotional trauma that often underlies aggression\, unraveling the triggers that lead to reactive responses. Our focus lies in empowering dogs to choose non-aggressive reactions through a compassionate training approach.\nThis webinar is designed to equip trainers with insights into causation\, enabling a shift towards effective solutions rooted in positive reinforcement. Join us as we explore this transformative method\, aiming to create a safer and happier environment for both dogs and their human companions.\nFor a better understanding of reactivity we must include creating deep safety dogs and have a nonviolent approach that allows for social processing in the dog in a way that addresses canine trauma and teaches dogs how to self-calm.\nA new\, strictly positive approach to managing aggressive & reactive dogs delving deep into often overlooked issues ranging from trauma\, stress factors\, nervous system and phobias – based on Annie Phenix groundbreaking book.\nDiscussing the shift  in the training industry that elevates the welfare of the dog before formal training takes place.\nAnnie Phenix will provide an In-depth look at body language\, phobias and their effect on reactivity via:\n\nA crash course in FREE-WORK by Sarah Fisher\, the non-intrusive approach teaching keen observations skills to handlers and trainers\, focusing on movement patterns\, body awareness\, proprioception and the vestibular system as sources of pain inducing reactivity.\nSlow Thinking is Lifesaving for Dogs® with Dr. Laura Donaldson focusing on changing a dog’s thinking patterns to find more appropriate ways to respond to triggers by helping to gradually reorient the dog’s perception.\n\n\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.puppyworks.com/phenix

DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the next installment of National Shelter Medicine Rounds Tuesday\, February 12. \nThe media attention around severe canine respiratory disease has started to dwindle\, but disease in shelters remains a concern.
