THE NEXT COHORT

2026-2027 Support group CYCLE

Following the continued success of our first two cohorts, the VOE-Network is excited to launch the next phase of our Support Group Program. This members-only opportunity offers a safe, confidential space for animal healthcare professionals to connect in small groups, share openly, and support one another through real-world challenges.

Participants meet monthly to explore topics such as leadership, burnout, communication, and personal development—all grounded in empathy, trust, and shared experience.
​

Applications for Cohort #3 will be open from April 1–30, 2026. We encourage anyone interested in building meaningful connections and finding support within this community to apply.

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!"
