The Human Side of Shelter Work: Building Compassion Satisfaction and Resilience with Valerie Bogie on the September 2025, Maddie’s Monthly Behavior Connection
Working in animal shelters can be deeply meaningful—and emotionally draining. In this session, Valerie Bogie, MSSW, Veterinary Social Worker, defines key terms while sharing fresh strategies to help you to increase your well-being and continue the work you are so passionate about!
The presentation focuses on how our stress might be lessened by working on things like compassion satisfaction and building our resilience. This webinar is for anyone working in or around animals in shelters-especially those feeling the weight of the work. Leave with renewed clarity, practical tools, and a reminder that you matter, too.
