COMPASSION FATIGUE?
Compassion fatigue is a normal consequence of caring for laboratory animals. But we have to learn skills and tools to support ourselves so we can feel emotionally, psychologically and physically balanced. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, this 6-week course is being offered EXCLUSIVELY to lab animal professionals. You will learn how to manage your emotions, create and enforce boundaries, have better relationships with everyone in your life, practice self-care consistently, reduce your stress significantly and learn to meditate. Julie Squires will also be offering 6 LIVE weekly webinars(which will be recorded) to support the course and show you how to apply the teachings to all that is happening in your and the world. You can consume the modules on-demand according to your schedule and convenience.
Course begins on April 11, 2020

INTEGRITY & BIOSECURITY CONFERENCE
We are rescheduling the APRIL 2020 THREE I’s Biosecurity and Research Integrity Conference to SEPTEMBER 2020.
Many of our member companies have restricted employee attendance at large conferences as well as travel. It has been proven that both can increase the risks of exposure to you, our families, friends and our community and given the recent cases of COVID-19 we feel that moving the symposium to another date will be beneficial to all.
