What happens to the people who spend their lives caring for animals in need? Who supports the rescuers, shelter workers, foster families, and advocates who witness heartbreak, trauma, and loss while doing everything they can to save lives?
Join me on Calling All Creatures for a heartfelt conversation with Jennifer Blough, LPC, and animal-welfare advocate, as we explore the emotional toll of animal rescue and the importance of caring for the people behind the mission.
We'll also discuss Jen's forthcoming book, Beyond Compassion Fatigue: Trauma, Resilience, and Recovery in Animal Care and Advocacy.
We'll talk about: What compassion fatigue is and who it affects The emotional toll of working and volunteering in animal welfare Trauma, grief, and moral injury Practical tools for resilience, recovery, and self-care How we can better support the people who dedicate their lives to helping animals
Because behind every rescued animal is often a human being carrying a heavy emotional burden. It's time we talked about their needs, too
Please share this announcement with your fellow rescuers, animal advocates, shelter workers, fosters, and volunteers. They need to hear this message, too!
