Veterinary teams want to feel more comfortable discussing death with clients.  They want to minimize the wrong words and maximize the right ones.  Saying the right thing during an emotional time makes everyone feel better, and improves trust between client and staff.  Whether it’s reception, the medical team, or management, effective communication before, during and after death becomes effortless with the right training.  Join the Companion Animal Euthanasia Training Academy (CAETA) for this amazing workshop designed to turn all staff members into confident, skilled end-of-life communicators. Open to all veterinary and animal sheltering professionals. 
Approved for 3 hours of CE for licensed veterinary professionals.

RECORDING WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AND VIEWING DECEMBER 11 -31, 2023
