Support tool for grieving pet owners

The College recognizes the challenges animal owners may experience when they face an unexpected and tragic loss of their animal. The loss of an animal companion can be overwhelming.

The College sees indications of grief in the complaints process, where some members of the public struggle with how to manage after the death of a pet. The College has engaged the services of Homewood Health to provide a one-hour session to assist participants in navigating and processing their grief. The session aims to help participants understand the grief process, learn healthy ways to cope with the loss and start on a healing process. The session includes question and answer time with a professional.

The next session will be held on December 11, 2024 at 12pm EST. Please register through the link below:
