SUMMARY:Webinar - 6/26/24 - Caring for the People that Care for Animals: Prioritizing Staff Well-being in Animal Welfare - Best Friends
DESCRIPTION:Mental health is a challenge for shelter and rescue staff\, many struggling with burnout and compassion fatigue\, and the data proves it. Roughly 90% of shelter staff reported high levels of compassion fatigue according to a 2023 Best Friends study titled “Quality of Life Assessment: A study of U.S. animal shelter staff well-being.” \nAs the demands of animal welfare continue to intensify\, it becomes crucial to recognize and address the toll it can take on the people working tirelessly behind the scenes. Often\, organizations make it the individual’s responsibility to solve this challenge by providing self-care tips or meditation apps. While these are helpful tools\, the vital topic of how to find staff well-being solutions organization-wide is often overlooked. We’re addressing exactly that in this live webinar featuring \n\nMichael Keiley\, CAWA\, Vice President of the Animal Protection Division for MSPCA-Angell in Massachusetts\nAlisha Vianello\, Executive Director of Gateway Pet Guardians in Illinois\nAmanda Loellke\, Adoption and Foster Manager\, Gateway Pet Guardians\, East St. Louis\, IL\nLeah Craig Chumbley (Fieser)\, Executive Director of Brother Wolf Animal Rescue in North Carolina\n\nThis panel will be moderated by licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Amanda Weiss\, PsyD\, who consulted with Best Friends staff on the 2023 study. \nThese experts will share their experiences recognizing the need for change in their organizations to prioritize staff well-being and delve deep into the challenges along with practical solutions to achieve it. Register now and join live on June 26 at 5pm ET. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://bestfriends-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/7117134723360/WN_W91ZBvhUTGqEcUIa9XNgIA#/registration

SUMMARY:Webinar - 6/26/24 - Circle of Care: Amputation Pain Solutions & Home Recovery Insights for Amputee Pets & Their People - HSVMA
DESCRIPTION:Amputations are major surgeries that are painful not only intraoperatively\, but can also be painful for a fairly long time post-operatively. The longer recovery time from pain is due to the large areas of soft tissue involvement at the surgery site and the severing of numerous\, some fairly large\, nerves. The latter initiates neuropathic pain\, which can be difficult to control. If the amputation is done because of a painful lesion\, the pre-existing pain will exacerbate the intra- and post-operative pain. Dr Grubb will discuss pre-\, intra-and post-operative analgesic strategies. \nAttendees will learn about the most immediate concerns that pet parents have when their dog or cat has had a limb amputation. The goal is to encourage discussion before and after surgery\, in order to facilitate a smoother recovery with less emotional burden on the pet parent as well as the veterinary team. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nReview the normal pain pathway\nDiscuss the changes in the pain pathway with pre-existing pain\nDefine neuropathic pain and the role in post-amputation pain\nExplore pre-\, intra-and post-operative analgesic strategies\nDevelop tools to address the important discussion points for the pet parent such as potential mobility challenges and realistic expectations during and after recover\n\nThis webinar is FREE for all attendees.\n1.5 hours of RACE CE credits (medical) will be available for HSVMA members only (pending approval).\nNot yet a member?

SUMMARY:Online Course – Starts 7/8/24 – What Is a Dog? The Ethology of Our Best Friend – IAABC (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:Ethology is the scientific and objective study of animal behavior under natural conditions. In short\, it’s the study of how animals behave in the real world. \nThis course takes a deep dive into our understanding of dogs as a species\, and therefore how we live with them and train them\, how they learn\, and how we can best solve behavioral issues if they arise. \nTo address these questions we will consider: \n\nThe interplay between canine domestication\, evolution\, and behavior\nDevelopment in dogs: birth through adulthood\nThe perceptual world of the dog and how it impacts behavior\nHow dogs approach and solve problems in their environment\nThe role of genetics in behavior\nThe behavior of free-ranging dogs\n\nYou will come away from this course with an even deeper appreciation and wonder for these amazing animals we live with. You’ll never look at dogs—or dog training—quite the same way again. \nCourse Begins: July 8\, 2024 \nDuration: 4 weeks \nInstructor: Kristina Spaulding\, PhD\, CAAB \n** IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT ONLINE WEEKLY MEETINGS ** \n\nAuditors do not attend online meetings\nMeetings are not recorded\nMeetings take place on Mondays at 1:00 pm Eastern (first meeting July 15th)\nMeetings are 1 hour in duration\nThere are 4 meetings for this course\n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://iaabcfoundation.org/courses/what-is-a-dog/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/9/24 - Unleashing Potential: The Canine CellMates Model for Developing and Implementing a Human-Canine Rehabilitation Program - NACA
DESCRIPTION:Canine CellMates is an innovative 501(c)(3) that strives to create meaningful\, positive connections between people facing felony charges and rescue dogs saved from local municipal shelters. \nBoth in and out of custody\, Canine CellMates facilitates programs in Fulton County (Atlanta)\, Georgia\, that utilize the healing power of shelter dogs to break the cycle of incarceration for individuals in our community\, providing a safe environment for meaningful self-reflection and personal growth. \nThe in-custody program serves pre-trial inmates in the Fulton County Jail. For ten weeks\, the program participants live and work alongside the dogs they train\, using positive reinforcement training methods only. During their time together\, the men and dogs form meaningful bonds and develop essential life skills. At the end of the 10-week cycle\, they graduate in a joyful ceremony that showcases their progress. \nThe out-of-custody program\, called “Beyond the Bars\,” is an intensive\, year-long program that serves as an alternative to a prison sentence for selected individuals—helping men return home to their families while giving them the life skills and the safe space to practice making better decisions and building a better future. \nHaving explored the structural and penological underpinnings of this model in an earlier session\, we focus here on how programs like this can be set up and function in other jurisdictions for the ultimate benefit of individual defendants and their families\, rescued animals\, and the community as a whole. \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/unleashing-potential-the-canine-cellmates-model-for-developing-and-implementing-a-human-canine-rehabilitation-program/
