Grief Tending for Veterinary Professionals
August 24, 2025
This 5 hour facilitated experience will invite participants to explore grief as an emotion and a shared experience within a trauma-sensitive environment.

They will explore the landscape of loss in the 21st century and better understand how to cultivate support and build resilience in the face of loss and grief. The intention of the day is twofold: to support professionals working with clients facing loss in clinical settings, and to help them tend to their own experience of loss in the workplace.
