SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/15/21 - MAC 2021 Webinar Series: Compassion Fatigue in Animal Welfare - Massachusetts Animal Coalition
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Overview\nFrom Happy and Fulfilled to Sad and Angry:  How Helping Animals Can Make Your Heart Hurt \nThe 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. \nWe will talk about: \n\nthe individual and his/her ability to recognize compassion fatigue and learn to mitigate or heal from it\, and\nthe systemic\, organizational stressors that affect our work and how the two can feed off of one another – or work toward creating a healthier environment.\n\nEach 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. \nNOTE:  If you would like to assess your current level of compassion fatigue beforehand you can access the Professional Quality of Life Scale’s Compassion Fatigue Self Test at http://proqol.org/ProQol_Test.html.  On the right side click on “The ProQOL 5 Self-Score (English)” and it will be scored for you.  If you speak another language there are accommodations for you\, too. \nSpeaker Information\nAnne Lindsay is the founder of MAC\, which was founded in 2000.  She was president of a canine rescue organization and learned firsthand about frontline animal welfare issues.  After 12 years at a large shelter\, she gained valuable experience behind the scenes as a part of the shelter’s management team. \nIn 2010 Anne earned her Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Lesley University and has consulted with states\, smaller communities\, and individual shelters\, helping them to form coalitions and work on board development.  She has also focused on helping organizations and individuals to address the very real issue of “compassion fatigue.” \nAnne is a past president of the board of the New England Federation of Humane Societies and is a board member of the State of Massachusetts Animal Response Team (SMART).  She received various awards from the Massachusetts Veterinary Medical Association\, the American Veterinary Medical Association and the Animal Control Officers Association of Massachusetts. \nAnne and her very patient and tolerant veterinarian husband David share their lives with 2 dogs\, 3 cats and 6 hens. \nWEBSITE LINK:  http://events.constantcontact.com/register/event?llr=dmv5lydab&oeidk=a07ehgskstu88fb2ea0%20

SUMMARY:Webinar - 2/20/21 - An Introduction to Fear-based Behaviors Across Species: Dogs\, Horses\, Cats\, Birds - Training Matters (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:With Debbie Jacobs\, CPDT-KA\, RBT; Michelle Martiya\, equine trainer; Katenna Jones\, ScM\, ACAAB\,CCBC\, CDBC\, CPDT-KA; Emily Strong\, CDBC\, CPDT-KA\, SBA. \nFebruary 20\, 2021\, noon to 3 p.m. eastern time \nThe science of how animals learn and overcome fear-based behavior challenges such as fear of people\, discomfort with being handled\, fear of other animals\, terror in particular environments\, is the same across species. What is not the same is how trainers work with different species because of the animals’ particular needs and safety considerations for the humans working with them. \nWe have assembled an expert group to talk about how they work with scared animals in a species with which they specialize. In this online seminar\, Debbie Jacobs will talk about dogs\, Michelle Martiya about horses\, Katenna Jones about cats\, and Emily Strong about birds. These ladies will discuss the behavioral profile of the fearful animals they often see\, that is the behaviors they exhibit and their typical history. The presenters will then talk about how they work through specific behavior challenges\, highlighting what may be different about working through the situation with a dog\, horse\, cat or bird in terms of management\, safety\, reinforcement delivery\, and other aspects of the training process. \nThe intent is to take a comparative approach. What is the same and what is different about working with traumatized animals of these different species\, as well as to highlight the particular considerations with each species. In addition to giving presentations\, the presenters will be available for a Q&A session afterwards. This promises to be a very interesting and educational event with some of the best trainers in the business\, and certainly some of the best at handling fear-based behavior including aggression and reactivity. \nCEUs are available. Three from IAABC; 2.5 from CCPCT for trainers and .5 for behavior consultants. \n\nWEBSITE LINK:  http://mattersdogtraining.com/events/
