Why We Do What We Do
Professionals in the zoological industry face regular work stressors as well as unique challenges of compassion fatigue, burnout, and animal loss. The industry is just beginning to understand how critical proactive and responsive support for zoo and aquarium staff is.
How we take care of ourselves each day directly correlates to how we can take care of others. For the zoo and aquarium industry, nothing is more important than the welfare of the animals in our care – which means supporting the wellbeing of our staff is critical. GRAZE provides resources and training that support the mental health of industry staff and facilitate organizational shifts in that direction.
With a combined 30 years of experience in the zoo and aquarium industry, we bring our knowledge and expertise to provide mental health support for industry professionals and resources for organizations to facilitate this shift towards the caring and keeping of our zookeepers, leaders and essential workers.
