Today, I am happy to have the privilege of talking to Angie Arora and Kirsti Clarida, two professionals who I got introduced to through the Veterinary Social Work Program. Angie is a registered social worker from Toronto, Canada. She gears much of her practice around pet loss bereavement and building compassion resilience in animal care professionals. Kirsti is a registered veterinary technician in Ontario, Canada, and she has done a lot of advocacy work to increase awareness around the importance of the roles of Registered Veterinary Technicians in veterinary medicine. Kristi and Angie got together, and they have been doing a lot of research and putting some hard work into compiling a veterinary training manual to help people deal with any challenges related to their relationship with animals.  Although working with animals can be fulfilling and rewarding, it can also be physically and emotionally exhausting. Angie and Kirsti are joining me today to discuss the work they are doing in the field, which includes pet loss and bereavement, compassion fatigue, and strengthening compassion resilience. Be sure to stay tuned today to hear what Angie and Kirsti have to share about reinforcing how people relate to animals. Show highlights: The two life experiences that came together for Angie, that started her journey. Angie explains what a veterinary social worker does. Angie discusses the role she plays as a Pet Loss Support Group Facilitator with VetVine. Kirsti talks about the work she's been doing to increase awareness of the challenges of veterinary technicians. How Angie and Kirsti were brought together, their relationship, and the kind of work they are doing together. About the research that they did through Seneca College, their goal, and the result that ensued. Kirsti shares some profound statistics from their research. Pet loss with species other than dogs and cats, and the euthanasia process. What dysthanasia is, and how to deal with it. What they learned about hospice and palliative care during their study. The importance of addressing caregiver fatigue and burnout. Supporting children in their grief. What veterinary practices can do with the guidelines that Kirsti and Angie have made available. Angie and Kirsti's Bios: Angie Arora is a registered Social Worker from Toronto, Canada, with over 15 years of experience in the areas of pet loss and veterinary compassion resilience. She has worked as a hospital Veterinary Social Worker, facilitated community-based pet loss support groups, and engaged in media campaigns to reduce the stigma associated with pet loss. She is on the inaugural Board of the International Association of Veterinary Social Work and serves as a Pet Loss Support Group Facilitator with VetVine. Angie is a Professor with Seneca College's Social Service Worker Program. Her social work practice has also focused on issues of gender-based violence with a specific focus on immigrant and refugee communities. Also, she is a Certified Compassion Fatigue Specialist with the Traumatology Institute and works with the veterinary industry to build wellness through strengthening compassion resilience. Angie obtained her Bachelor of Social Work from Ryerson University and Masters of Social Work from York University.   Kirsti Clarida has been a proud Registered Veterinary Technician since graduating from Seneca College in 1999.

How will climate change impact many people first? Through stress, our response to increasingly uncertain weather conditions and the increasing pace of climate disasters, Dr. Reggie Ferreira, Associate Director of the Traumatology Institute at Tulane University's School of Social Work. Having worked as part of New Orleans' recovery after Hurricane Katrina and in Puerto Rico following Hurricane Maria, Dr. Ferreira has advice for cities and citizens who are facing climate change: Prepare by planning for disaster and building a strong social network that can work together in the wake of a hurricane, wildfire, or other weather-related disasters. Dr. Ferreira is also the editor of the American Psychological Association's journal of disaster and trauma, Traumatology, and head of the Society for Social Work Research's Disaster Research Group.In his conversation with Earth911's Mitch Ratcliffe, Dr. Ferreira shares his own experience in disaster zones and advice for the mental health community. Robust social connections are critical to community responses to disasters. Psychologists and other social workers need to rethink the way they organize responses, starting before a storm or fire to build the relationships that can overcome traditional social services models. He also explains how the impact of disasters on the poorest and most disadvantaged people, including the mentally ill, is greater than other segments of society. By preparing these communities, a city can be more resilient in the face of a hurricane's destruction as well as better for everyone on a daily basis. Communication and trust are tested by disasters and establishing a strong social bond before they strike is the keystone for successful responses to climate change-caused misery.Join the conversation and share your thoughts with the community in our Earthling Forum.
