POP UP TALK: Coping with Life and Loss When Our Pets Get Sick

In this interactive webinar with Q&A, health coach Jennifer Allen Newton will share ways to help people maintain their own health and well-being while dealing with the emotional and physical challenges of caring for an animal that has become seriously ill, disabled or is losing function as they age. She’ll provide tools and techniques for stress management and resilience, and she’ll discuss ways to help us navigate through the loss of our beloved animal family members whose lives are inevitably far too short.

Jennifer’s work is informed by her experience as a board-certified health and wellness coach working with human caregivers as well as from her personal experience, having cared for dogs with illness and disability while also caring for her mother who had dementia.
