SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/29/25 - Identifying\, Strengthening\, & Expanding the Mental Health Component within the One Health Framework - UT OHI
DESCRIPTION:While the One Health Framework identifies “mental health” as an integral component within the intersections of human\, animal\, and ecosystem health\, its place within the literature remains limited. In this presentation\, Chris Weatherly examines reasons why “mental health” remains underexplored within One Health research and practice\, while also identifying existing themes within the literature and potential future directions. He’ll also discuss his journey in becoming interested in the field of One Health and expanding its mental health component\, including his work as a mental health practitioner\, researching climate change and mental health\, and his current attempt to synthesize the literature on “animal mental health.” \nDr. Chris Weatherly is an assistant professor in the University of Georgia School of Social Work. He is licensed clinical social worker whose research areas of interest include strengthening rural mental health systems and unpacking the intersections of climate change\, environmental degradation\, species loss\, and mental well-being. He has over 10 years of experience as a mental health professional and has worked within acute psychiatric settings\, post-disaster\, and rural contexts with populations with severe mental illness\, substance use concerns\, and complex trauma histories. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://tennessee.zoom.us/meeting/register/mmnkiAirTxu-_lEkvThBiw#/registration

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/22/25 - Culture = Success: The Secret to Building a Positive Workplace Culture in Animal Welfare - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:The animal welfare industry is understaffed and facing worker turnover\, like employers around the country. The effects are dire: animal shelter workers are burned out\, and animals’ lives are at risk. But in the face of these challenges\, Pasco County Animal Services (PCAS) in Florida has zero vacant positions and hasn’t had an opening in an entry-level position in over 14 months. PCAS Assistant Director Spencer Conover attributes this success to a positive workplace culture built through inspiration\, leadership\, recognition\, equal pay\, and training. \nIn this webinar\, Spencer will discuss how PCAS created and sustains its positive workplace culture and how you can easily adapt these methods to help better retain team members and build a positive workplace culture of your own. \nThis webinar has been certified by the National Animal Care & Control Association and is approved for 1 Continuing Education Unit. Please refer to your NACA membership portal for current CEU submission process. Current NACA Members who attend the live presentation or watch the recording will be able to download a jointly issued attendance certificate that includes the National Animal Care & Control Association logo. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/culture-success-the-secret-to-building-a-positive-workplace-culture-in-animal-welfare/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/24/25 - Find your popsicle hotline: Creating the ultimate adopter experience - CalAnimals
