2025-2026 Support group CYCLE
|
After a highly successful pilot, the VOE-Network is excited to continue the Support Group Program into its next phase! This members-only opportunity offers a safe, confidential space for animal healthcare professionals to connect in a small group, share openly, and support one another through real-world challenges.
The group meets monthly to discuss topics like leadership, burnout, communication, and personal development—all grounded in empathy, trust, and shared experience. Cohort #2 has been selected, and applications are now closed. We encourage those who were not selected or weren’t able to apply this year to consider applying for the next cycle in 2026. |
Here’s what past participants had to say:
"It was great to have a safe place to meet with other individuals with a passion for animal care and leading people! Sharing successes and failures helped me feel not so alone!" "I found this group to be one of the highlights to the last 12 months in my professional life. It felt really good to hear, help and receive help from several colleagues in the industry." "This support group is a great opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, and receive support from others within the field. I enjoy how everyone asks for updates on previous conversations and also provide honest feedback. This is true peer support and was worthwhile!" |
