The Pet Loss Support for Re-homing Centre Staff webinar series from SCAS consists of 3 webinars covering many of the important aspects that help to provide an understanding of why re-homing a pet can be so difficult for people, some common responses to loss due to re-homing and and how you, as a professional working in a re-homing centre, can effectively support your clients and colleagues through the difficulties surrounding the re-homing of a pet.
This series will be of particular interest to those working in re-homing centres that may find themselves supporting others through the loss of a pet.
