About the event
Dutchess County SPCA (DCSPCA) presents a series of in-person workshops as part of the organization’s Transitions program, which supports people as they care for their beloved companion animals through their pets’ end-of-life transitions.
The first workshop “End of Life Considerations,” is part of a quarterly series that will deal with different subject matter from both emotional and practical perspectives, and will be held on Friday, June 21, at DCSPCA in Hyde Park, NY.
Topics in the area of mental health will include: anticipatory grief, kids’ grief, and stages of grief. Practical topics will include: physical aging, terminal diagnoses, and palliative care.
The aim of the “End of Life Considerations” workshop, and all facets of DCSPCA’s Transitions program, is to help guide pet owners through the process of saying goodbye to their beloved companion animals.
The workshop will be led by Alison Irving Appleby, LMSW and Alberta Crum, DMV.
