When it comes to helping your organization manage stress, compassion fatigue, and burnout, an ongoing wellness program is no longer a luxury. It is a must, especially for those who care for animals! But many wellness programs take a lot of money and someone to run them -- two precious resources that are often scarce in the animal welfare field. And "one and done" or even annual workshops are just not meeting the needs of employees. Often times these workshops are run by well-meaning therapists or coaches who don't have experience in the field and may have a hard time relating to animal welfare professionals. 

​

That's where I come in. :)

​

I am a therapist and former shelter worker/animal control officer who understands the unique stressors and traumas faced by many of your employees. As I've traveled around the country presenting workshops, the feedback I get is that an occasional workshop is nice....but just not enough. So I now offer custom (and fun!) wellness programs that promote year-round learning, resources, and wellness challenges, all at a very affordable price. Did I mention that I run the program so you can focus on doing what you do best, as well as participate in the program?

​

So let's look at some of the possible benefits of a well-rounded wellness program:

​

• Attract and retain talent with less turnover

• Resilient employees are less prone to calling off sick, developing compassion fatigue, burning out, or leaving the organization

• Increases  employee morale, productivity, and teamwork

• Healthy behaviors reduce health risk, which may lead to lower health care costs

• Resilient, happy staff = improved animal care!
