Massachusetts Animal Coalition

Massachusetts Animal Coalition Presents: The 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. Each 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.
