Essential Messaging for Animal Care and Well-being training

Virtual
Too often mainstream messages lead to shame and blame. They contribute to stereotypes and villainizing. The result is endless frustration, overwhelm, and burnout. Too many animals still need homes; too many pet families lack access to care. We need different stories and messages to build a better reality for animals and people. This course is about the stories and messages we need now.
