Veterinary social work in this setting involves three distinct client groups: clinic clients, clinic staff, and veterinary students. Attendees will learn about interventions for each group and have the opportunity to participate in a reflective writing and debriefing exercise. In the WisCARES curriculum, these are designed to encourage veterinary students to think, write, and talk about moral stress and healthy coping strategies. https://lnkd.in/gqYSHEMh #NASWWI #NASWWI50 #Wisconsin #Health #SocialWork
