Jacquelin shares the healing benefits of pets and the power of animals to save or improve lives. Based on human-animal bond research, having a pet can improve parameters of health including, decreasing blood pressure, stress indicators, and mental health. People suffering from depression, isolation, or loneliness find solace in having a pet. Animals encourage people to have a more active lifestyle, which directly improves heart health, weight management, PTSD, and other medical conditions. Imagine a world where doctors could actually write a “prescription for a pet” for their patient who has a health crisis!

From playing with puppies to helping a family allow their beloved older horse to pass peacefully, veterinary medicine is an emotional roller coaster! What you might not know is that veterinarians are at significant risk of burnout. They experience life and death on a daily basis and that overwhelming stress can result in compassion fatigue. Staggering statistics indicate that veterinarians are at risk of taking their own life by suicide at a much higher rate than the general population and even other healing professionals. While sobering to hear, we can create change. This starts with awareness. This talk aims to raise the general public’s awareness as a first step in finding solutions to protect and honor those who care so deeply for the animals we all love.
