Effective Communications
DESCRIPTION
Of all the things you’re trained to do in your job, one of the most important is one nobody has ever trained you to do.
Brad Wurfel from BJW Strategies will provide a session where the group can discuss its top challenges and work on simple techniques to make interacting with the public, the media and any other audience a more manageable, welcome experience.
Wurfel brings 25 years of experience in public relations for government, non-profits, and private sector clients. He has trained thousands of state employees, agency heads and corporate leaders. He regularly trains Michigan’s public health officials all over the state.
From dealing with upset pet owners to addressing media while you’re doing your job to reporting to county government leaders about your local operation’s challenges and needs, the difference between success and headaches often comes down to how effectively you can communicate your role, your work, your objectives and more. This session will help you hone your command of tough moments.

Animal euthanasia-by-Injection Course
DESCRIPTION
Dr. CathyAnderson, a Michigan licensed veterinarian who has a master’s degree in shelter medicine, will teach the two-day workshop for staff of Michigan registered animal shelters. Topics covered will include: understanding how euthanasia drugs work, calculating dosages, humane restraint techniques, appropriate administration, managing euthanasia related compassion stress, etc.
This training meets and exceeds the minimum requirement for euthanasia technician training as outlined inMichigan law(Public Health Code Act738 Section 733).
NOTE:This course does NOT require participants to euthanize an animal. Additional practice under the direction of a veterinarian is strongly recommended before applying for certification.
The delivery of painless and humane death is a great responsibility to those who must do it. There can be no confusion or uncertainty that the euthanasia technician’s first (primary) responsibility is to the animal; to assure that the animal is treated with compassion and respect, no matter what. The purpose of this Euthanasia-by-Injection work shop is to teach, encourage and model this primary purpose. It is sponsored by Jackson County Animal Shelter.
