    Webinar Wednesday: What is Compassion Fatigue?

    7PM - 8PMVirtual (Zoom)

    Presented by Veterinary Social Worker Caroline Cox, LSW, MSW 

    Program Description: Veterinary medicine requires compassion, resilience and the ability to navigate emotionally demanding situations every day. Over time, these experiences can affect well-being, but recognizing the difference between compassion fatigue and burnout is an important first step toward responding effectively.
    In this session, Caroline Cox will explore what compassion fatigue is, how it differs from burnout, and why that distinction matters in veterinary medicine. Participants will learn to recognize potential signs of compassion fatigue in themselves and consider the unique pressures of veterinary practice. The session will also introduce somatic regulation strategies, with a focus on when and how to use them during the workday.
    Program Agenda:
    · Compassion fatigue versus burnout
    · Recognizing signs of compassion fatigue in ourselves
    · The unique emotional challenges of veterinary medicine
    · Somatic regulation strategies and practical workplace applications

    Learning Objectives:
    1. Differentiate between compassion fatigue and burnout and explain their impact on veterinary professionals.
    2. Identify common signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue in themselves and recognize the unique emotional challenges of veterinary medicine.
    3. Describe somatic regulation strategies that can help manage stress and support emotional well-being.
    4. Apply practical somatic regulation techniques during the workday to promote emotional regulation and resilience.
    Open to veterinary professionals. Pending RACE approval.

    Virtual Pet Loss Support Group

    6:30 pmZoom

    Join us as we provide resources for helping with the emotional and spiritual aspects of pet loss.

    Different people experience grief in different ways. Besides your sorrow and loss, which can be devastating in itself, you may experience guilt, anger, denial and/or depression. Weighing yourself down with guilt only makes it that much more difficult to work through your loss. Depression is a natural consequence of grief, but if unchecked, can leave you powerless to cope with your feelings. Know that there is support, our staff offers grief support sessions to help you cope with your loss.

    Open to the public.
