We will be holding rounds this month as the same layout as last month where tomorrow will be the topic presentation and the following rounds on June 28th will be a group discussion on this presentation topic.

This session will be recorded and shared with the group after the presentation so those who can’t join us live can still watch and join for the discussion.
A Trauma-Informed Approach to Behavioral Care in Shelters with Dr. Sheila Segurson, DVM, DACVB, CDBC, CCBC
As our communities become more informed about recognizing and responding to human trauma, there’s growing interest in the impact of chronic stress and trauma on animal behavior. There’s a large volume of evidence that demonstrates the negative impact of trauma on human health and welfare. While research in animals isn’t focused on the concept of trauma, this session will share evidence that demonstrates the impact of stressful experiences on animal health and welfare. Acknowledgement of the role of trauma in animal behavior encourages us to be more understanding and respond more appropriately to undesirable or challenging behaviors that may be caused by trauma. This session will discuss practical ways you can prevent trauma and help animals to recover.
