In part one of this two part episode, Sarah Bernardi, RSW, MSW, shares her journey as a veterinary social worker, exploring the emotional complexities faced by pet parents and veterinary teams and the vital role of compassionate support. We also highlight the new Pet Trust digital resource, a special guide designed to help people navigate grief and pet loss, offering invaluable information on coping with loss, accessing pet loss resources, and preparing for end-of-life decisions with care and understanding. We hope this conversation brings comfort, insight, and support to anyone who listens.
