    Veterinary Social Work with Kelly Bremken, MSW

    Still a relatively new field, veterinary social work is gaining traction in clinics and shelters across the country. (The host of this show, Debrah Lee, LCSW leads the Veterinary Well-Being program at DoveLewis Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care Hospital in Portland, OR.) Vetmed professionals often joke that they went into the field because they get along better with animals than people. But companion animals are inextricably linked to the humans that care for them. In this episode, Kelly Bremken, MSW, a veterinary social work intern at the Oregon Humane Society, explains how her role impacts both animals and humans in the community. We also discuss how the advent of veterinary social work has legitimized the need for greater emphasis on mental health and self-care in the industry.
