Angie is one of the invaluable “missing links” of veterinary medicine. Her crusade to ensure that veterinary professionals prioritize well-being and self-awareness is a long-overdue necessity in this field of work. Her unique training as a veterinary social worker provides a deep understanding of the challenges our professionals face. Because it is truly impossible to separate wellness from diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), we must be open to understanding the intersectionality of these concepts and how each directly impacts workplace culture. I am fascinated at Angie’s skill & ability to empathically convey this vital message to individuals participating in blendvet’s program, as well as those with the exceptional opportunity to witness her as a speaker or facilitator in any alternate capacity.

The compassion fatigue training Angie provided to our staff was the best we have had, and even those of us who have been through countless trainings felt it was the most beneficial one we have attended. Our staff range from frontline staff who have never heard of compassion fatigue to people who have been in the industry for years and are jaded and joke about it. The fact the training was received so well by all groups is a testament to how well it was done, and we hope to do more in the future to continue to build resilience.

We had Angie design a talk for us about de-escalation with clients experiencing mental health issues. The presentation she designed for us was prefect. The staff enjoyed the interactive nature of her presentation. They were free to ask questions and interact throughout the duration of the session. She was inviting and engaged the staff thoroughly. The positive feedback from staff who attended was overwhelming so we are having her back to present to the staff who couldn’t attend. I am looking forward to collaborating with Angie on a compassion fatigue program for the staff.

Angie delivered a fantastic de-escalation seminar to our front-line staff. As a 24/7 emergency and referral clinic, supporting clients in distress is an invaluable skill-set to have. I appreciated how Angie offered a practical component to her seminar which allowed staff to work through real case examples–her expert knowledge and ability to engage the room allowed staff to comfortably share their thoughts and ask questions. This seminar is an excellent opportunity for veterinary practices to learn more about the human component of veterinary medicine, and the tools that support it.
