Summary:

"A Call to Life helps veterinary caregivers increase self-efficacy and sustainability and decrease unnecessary suffering in their mission to support animal health. Integrating real-life stories from veterinary caregivers with evidence-based theory, practical activities, discussion and reflection points, and insights drawn from the author's own experiences, the book empowers veterinarians by showing that they have the ability to choose a healthier way forward for themselves and for their profession. It uniquely combines shared experiences with academic research into the contributing factors of compassion fatigue and how to counter these"-- Provided by publisher.
