teekay Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I was so shocked to see this yesterday. She seemed so energetic and full of life. RIP Sophia you helped so many people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pretty Miss Emma Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I am somewhat devastated by this as she has been the inspiration of so many teaching resources I/we use in classes in my work. Even more upsetting that she took her own life, someone who was so valued by so many people in the world and has helped more dogs than could ever be imagined (and other animals). You just never know what is going on behind someone's smiling face. I hope that her work lives on and that people folllow in her footsteps in terms of training methodology and passion.

How fortunate we are that she was so generous in sharing her insights in such an easily accessible way. It's so important that her legacy lives on.

Tintin Jac Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 http://www.veterinarypracticenews.com/Animal-Behaviorist-Sophia-Yin-Dies-at-48/#.VCsShNVJpaA.facebook Oh gosh, they didn't shy away from the cause of her passing. Although I knew she had taken her life, that was quite confronting You just never know what is behind the smile. How dreadfully sad that she couldn't find a way through the darkness.

Aidan3 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Seems like there is a need for people who work with animals to have similar training and support that people who work in human mental health and other caring roles get.

luvsdogs Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I saw her a couple of years ago at a Sydney conference. She was a very entertaining, informative speaker. I was so shocked to hear of her sudden passing. RIP Sophia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korbin13 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Susan Garrett tweeted out this blog by Jessica Dolce, for me it is a good read. It is about how some animal health care professionals are affected by their work. http://jessicadolce.com/depression-suicide-animal-care-professions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Seems like there is a need for people who work with animals to have similar training and support that people who work in human mental health and other caring roles get. Yes there is. Working with animals and their owners can take it's toll as this clearly illustrates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tassie Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I believe the AVA - or maybe just the Vet Board in WA - is running a program to assist with what they found was a major problem.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
