Who should attend this webinar?

Anyone who works in a professional care role or supports people through all forms of loss and grief. Our content is applicable to a wide variety of professions including counsellors, social workers, teachers, emergency response teams, medical, corrections, mental health, hospice, volunteers, caregivers and more. This topic also stretches across those working in the animal health field including vets, pet insurance companies and other animal health companies who may be in contact with people dealing with declining pet health, or pet loss.

Overview

With pet ownership increasing, particularly post-pandemic, it’s important to acknowledge and discuss the deep emotional connections between people and their pets and how, for some people, the human-animal bond may be comparable or supersede relationships with other humans. This two-hour online webinar will explore the unique and socially stigmatised nature of pet loss grief and supporting people through this particular type of loss.  You will learn how to support people living with end-of-life decisions for pets while also dealing with disenfranchised grief: a more complex journey through loss. Vicky will also discuss various perspectives and complexities of working with this unique cohort, providing tips for professionals supporting individuals through this difficult journey.
