SUMMARY:PETtalk Animal Communication and Energy Work
DESCRIPTION:Join CT Humane Society and Mary Albanese of ZenZu as she guides attendees through how to better understand pets.\n\n\n\n\nDuring this free webinar\, Mary will discuss how animal communication and energy work can support pets and their people through life’s changes\, what a session looks like\, when these approaches may be most helpful\, and how to discern meaningful insights while staying grounded and practical. \nAnimal communication and energy work help pet parents better understand their animal’s emotional state\, physical comfort\, and overall well-being. These approaches can be especially insightful during illness\, behavior changes\, major life transitions\, end-of-life care\, or when a pet is lost—supporting thoughtful\, informed decision-making. Many pet parents and caregivers find this work strengthens their bond with their pet while providing reassurance\, clarity\, and peace of mind. \nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:PETtalk Understanding and Honoring the Grief of Pet Loss
DESCRIPTION:Losing a beloved pet can be as devastating as losing a human family member — yet many people feel alone or even ashamed of their grief. Whether you’re grieving now\, supporting someone else\, or simply want to better understand the human-animal bond\, this event offers insight\, validation\, and comfort. \nIn this engaging talk\, licensed clinical social worker Trinity Haswell\, MSW\, LCSW\, will lead an honest and compassionate conversation about pet loss\, grief and healing. She will explore why the loss of a pet can impact us so deeply\, how grief shows up in the mind and body and why society often minimizes or invalidates this type of loss. Drawing from her clinical expertise and warm\, person-centered approach\, Trinity will help normalize the grieving process and offer guidance on how we can meaningfully honor our pets — and ourselves — during this emotional journey. \nAbout the Speaker \nTrinity Haswell of TH Psychotherapy\, LLC is a Connecticut licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s from Columbia University\, specializing in grief\, identity\, and life transitions. With a warm and compassionate approach\, she helps individuals navigate the often-overlooked grief of pet loss. Trinity is passionate about honoring the deep emotional bonds we form with our animal companions and creating space for healing through connection and self-understanding.

SUMMARY:Reading to Pets in Newington
DESCRIPTION:Join the Connecticut Humane Society at the Newington location for a limited-run program\, “Reading to Pets”. Designed for children ages 6-18\, the session will help sharpen your child’s reading skills while allowing them to spend quality time with a pet in care at the shelter. \nDuring their session\, children will have the opportunity to read to cats or small pets\, all of whom are excited to lend a furry ear to any new or seasoned reader. Bring your favorite book or pick from one provided by CHS. \nWatch your child’s confidence in reading grow as they bring comfort and compassion to shelter pets. Reading sessions are 20-minutes long and will be offered Thursday\, August 21. Pre-registration is required. \nThere is a registration fee of $12.51 per child\, per session. One adult must accompany their reader for the entire session. Due to space limits and safety requirements\, only one reader and one adult per reservation. Siblings and additional adults are not able to accompany you and your child to the session. \nImportant Notes for Parents of Participants: \n· This program does not include hands-on interactions with the pets. \n· Reading sessions will occur outside of the pet’s enclosure. Attendees are unable to enter the pet’s enclosure for any reason. \n· CHS will provide chairs for the reader and the adult. If preferred\, children are welcome to sit on the ground next to the pet’s enclosure. Blankets will be available. \n· Each session is 20 minutes long. If you are running late\, it will cut into your reading time. \n· Participants will read to cats or small pets\, such as rabbits\, guinea pigs\, or birds. CHS staff are unable to take requests and available pets will be selected in advance by staff. To best care for the pups at CHS\, dog kennels are closed to the public and will not be accessible during this program. \n· Each child participating must remain with their adult at all times. Due to limited space and to ensure an optimal experience for the pets and other participants\, only one child and one adult per session.
