3rd Self Care Tip From One of Our Staff

Enjoy our special self-care tip series for Activist Appreciation Month! Watch for them throughout February: www.idausa.org/activistmonth.

In my work as Communications Director for IDA, I have to review a lot of very graphic media depicting animal abuse. Recently I watched a video of a little dog being doused with petrol and set aflame. It is so hard knowing I can do little for this individual in her final moments of undeserved agony. Taking care of yourself as an animal activist is so important. One of my favorite ways to take care of myself is talking to like-minded friends.
