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:Online Event - 6/3/25 - All Call: Community-Centered Field Services and Animal Control in Action - California for All Animals

SUMMARY:Webinar - 6/5/25 - Northern Tier Shelter Initiative Zoomies: Behavior Pathway Resources - Tools of the Trade - ASPCAPro
DESCRIPTION:Behavior-focused pathway planning and outcome decision-making are challenges faced by every animal shelter. Without tools to guide those processes\, it can be overwhelming to address challenges on a case-by-case basis for every dog and cat admitted to your shelter. Dr. Miranda K. Workman\, from the ASPCA’s Behavioral Sciences team\, will introduce a group of behavior pathway resources developed to guide pathway planning and outcome decisions with your shelter’s behavioral capacity for care in mind. \n– Understand how to define language\, determine adoptability\, assess welfare\, assess risk and determine behavioral capacity for care. \n– Gain tools for implementing the above in your shelter. \n– Learn how to approach your shelter’s pathway planning and outcome decision processes with confidence. \nThis session is suited for animal welfare staff\, veterinarians\, technicians\, and staff working in the Northern Tier (Alaska\, Idaho\, Minnesota\, Montana\, North Dakota\, Washington\, and Wisconsin)\, but all are welcome. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.aspcapro.org/training/webinar/northern-tier-shelter-initiative-zoomies-behavior-pathway-resources-tools-trade

SUMMARY:Webinar - 6/24/25 - Pet Protection Orders: A Powerful Tool to Respond to Animal Abuse and Domestic Violence - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:Forty American states now specifically enable courts to include companion and/or farm animals in domestic violence protection-from-abuse orders. The movement to enable pet protection orders began in 2006 and has spread rapidly\, but several states are still holding out. \nThis webinar will examine the history of this movement\, the unexpected opposition to what should be a common-sense solution to Link issues\, and how well this legal mechanism is being utilized. \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. Visit the NACA training page for a complete list of future trainings. \nPresenter: Phil Arkow \nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/pet-protection-orders-a-powerful-tool-to-respond-to-animal-abuse-and-domestic-violence/
