Staff Debriefing for Secondary Trauma

Veterinary practitioners will experience client loss more frequently than any other kind of medical practice.  Staff burnout is a major problem in retention of experienced talent. Offering workshops which allow the expression and support of difficult feelings can reduce/eliminate the negative impact of secondary trauma

To set up a debriefing via Zoom or in person (if located in the tri-state area), 
please email me at susanstonelcsw@aol.com

Workshop on facilitation of an Animal Companion Bereavement Support Group for a 
Veterinary Practice or within your therapy practice or local community 

Managing the impact of constant animal death on staff and valued clients is an essential component of a veterinary practice.  Absent such services and staff may end up devoting inordinate amount of time and energy to clients and each other in the aftermath of animal companion loss. Integrating bereavement services supports staff retention, enhanced community relationships, increased client loyalty and overall profitiability of a veterinary practice through considered inclusion of essential services.

Individual Counseling Sessions for your Staff Members

Sometimes, when cases are complicated by ethical issues between human clients and veterinary practices, staff members are left with feelings of helplessness, guilt or anger.  

Who is the client? The steward or the animal?

The aftermath ethical dilemmas can linger beyond the animal's treatment or death, impacting the morale of affected staff members and may contribute to staff turnover.  
Rapid intervention can reduce negative impacts and restore commitment to valued professional and ethical goals.
