Animal welfare professionals struggle with maintaining their mental health for a multitude of factors including challenges with work-life balance, traumatic experiences within the shelter, and more. It’s up to the industry to care for the PEOPLE that are doing the life-saving by creating care opportunities for better mental health in the shelter. Panelists Dr. Jyothi V. Robertson, Founder of JVR Strategies & Journey You Own along with José Ocaño, Founder & CEO of Hatching, discuss the importance of mindfulness in animal welfare and best practices the industry can implement today to support the people who save pets.
