As more domestic violence organizations recognize the vital bond between survivors and their pets, it’s essential that pet support programs are built using the framework of trauma-informed care.

At Willow Domestic Violence Center in Rochester, NY, Pet Program & Operations Coordinator Kate Rachiele works to ensure every part of the Pet Program reflects compassion, choice, and understanding. BestyBnB is proud to highlight our partnership with Willow Domestic Violence Center in a new webinar, Supporting Client Autonomy: Integrating Trauma-Informed Care into Pet Programs.
