The GSPCA and Guernsey Bereavement Service are teaming up for the third 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.
Zoe Le Pelley from the Guernsey Bereavement Service will lead the talk on the following subjects:
- An overview of loss and how it affects us
- The four categories of pet loss
- How we can help the bereaved
- What the Guernsey Bereavement can offer
Zoe will also be there to take questions and we are planning an interactive session so all participants can take as much from it as possible.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager will also be making a presentation on the Pet Cremation Service that the Animal Shelter provides, the Pet Memorial Garden we are developing on site and also a short tour of the facilities.
All the GSPCA and Guernsey Bereavement Service are asking for is a minimum donation of £10 per person to be paid by calling 01481 257261, via the paypal on our website, at the Shelter or on the evening, but please do register your place as soon as possible.
From vets to vet nurses, pet sitters to pet shop staff, animal charity workers to volunteers or anyone with an interest we are holding a this session that will help at a time of a pet owners bereavement.
The training session will take place at 6.25pm on Tuesday 19th May 2015, although you can arrive from 6.10pm to make a hot drink.
Zoe Le Pelley from the Guernsey Bereavement Service said "At the Guernsey Bereavement Service we are delighted to be able to provide this training with the GSPCA for those professionals and volunteers working in the animal care industry around the Bailiwick."
"The Guernsey Bereavement Service is there to help support anyone who has loved and lost, and that includes the many pet owners who face bereavement."
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager "Everyday the team here at the GSPCA talk to those that have recently lost their pets for many reasons and it is always an emotional experience."
"Our team here at the GSPCA have had training from the Guernsey Bereavement Service and we thought by working together we could stretch out to other animal care professionals and volunteers in Guernsey that would benefit from their expertise in communicating with bereaved pet owners, as well as anyone else that is interested."
"All we are asking for is a small donation which will benefit both charities and we will provide something for those attending to take away."
