Experts are experts for a reason. The world of social work is growing with specific veterinary training in many programs.

Veterinary Social Work training specifically addresses the unique situations that the veterinary community and pet guardians experience, all laced with power dynamics, trauma, stress, emotional duress, and extensive variabilities in time and knowledge. Consider the role that a permanent or contract Veterinary Social Worker can have with/on your team. Their understanding of the human social work field extends the reach of veterinary care to true well-being. If this is not an option, a team could even consider training from a Veterinary Social Work group to educate them on the most common experiences. 

Veterinary Educators, shelters, clinics, and companies are growing to see the absolute value of this veterinary adjacent profession that allows the expertise to be valued and respected. These talented humans can work with interactions specific to your team, individuals, and scenarios.
