On Wednesday 12th November at 630pm we are holding our second training session for Pet Bereavement for Pet Professionals and Volunteers although it is open to anyone who would like to attend.
There is a minimum donation of £10 to attend and it takes place at the Shelter. Speakers include GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne and also staff from the Guernsey Bereavement Service.
Whether you work at the vets or a pet store, you are a teacher or pet owner the session is an excellent way to learn about communicating with others during Pet Bereavement.
At the GSPCA we feel education has a huge part to play in the world we live and knowing what to do whether helping at the GSPCA, at home or in your work place is extremely important.
This Wednesday we have a Volunteer Induction Evening. If you are interested in helping the GSPCA then we ask for you to pop along at 6.30pm to find out about the GSPCA and a short safety induction. The evening takes around 90 minutes and is at the Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Last night with nearly 20 Animal Professionals and Volunteers, the first open training evening was held at the GSPCA in Pet Bereavement.
The GSPCA along with the Guernsey Bereavement Service worked together to hold an evening to help those in the animal industry last night.
The GSPCA and Guernsey Bereavement Service are teaming up for the first time to provide a training session in Pet Bereavement for those working or volunteering in the animal care industry in the Bailiwick of Guernsey.
The aim of the evening is to educate the many volunteers and staff across the Bailiwick help those pet owners with the loss of their beloved pet.
The session is set for Wednesday 23rd April 2014 at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Zoe Le Pelley from the Guernsey Bereavement Service will lead the talk on the following subjects:
The GSPCA staff would like to extend a huge thanks to the Guernsey Bereavement Service.
Volunteers from the Guernsey Bereavement Service Lesley and Clive kindly gave up two afternoons recently to spend time training staff and talking to the team about the challenging work that the GSPCA are faced with every day.
The GSPCA rescue, rehabilitate and rehome thousands of animals every year but the team are faced with daily situations that are often upsetting and extremely sensitive.
