At our workshops, we talk a lot about how to show our clients empathy in a way that protects us from compassion fatigue. This podcast really delves into cognitive empathy and how we use this to support our clients through tough stuff. Highly recommend!

Thanks to the ANZCVS and NZVA for having me along to the Christchurch meeting last night to present on core communication skills, relationship centred care, how to elicit an agenda with a client in a way that supports the relationship and the unique communication challenges we face in 2024. Thanks to the audience who were insightful, engaged, passionate and make me very proud to be a part of the veterinary profession.

What a wonderful campaign brought about by such a tragic loss

Today, we proudly launch our national campaign "We're Only Human", urging people to be kind to vet staff.

Our goal is to help prevent su***de in the veterinary industry which is all too common - on average one vet takes their life every 12 weeks.

Posters like this will be displayed in vet clinics across Australia, asking people to take a pledge in support of vets.

You can help too - please click on the link and TAKE THE PLEDGE, and encourage your friends and family to do the same. Together, let's stand in solidarity with our wonderful vets 👉 https://sophieslegacy.com/campaigns/only-human
