WHY?
- Families and their animal friends will benefit from these 1.5 hr evening primers on various topics important to end of life caregiving.
- Animal and Family Services Professionals will gain skills which ensure excellent standards in their own practice and may become involved with AHELP for client-centered, comprehensive care by our Support Team.
- Prospective Volunteers have been requesting outreach volunteering since our inception, and with this training we may now offer AHELPers these unique opportunities.
