It’s all in one place.

Everything is connected. It’s difficult to truly understand how the many different aspects of behavior fit together without spending a lot of time with the material. That’s why this course exists – to take all the different pieces of information related to stress and resiliency and put them all into one cohesive, in-depth narrative. This one course will cover everything you need to know about the impacts of stress and how we can cultivate the development of resilience in our animals. I am SO excited to teach this course – and I know you’ll love it too!

Take a deep dive into the following topics:

• Welfare and well-being – what do animals need to thrive?
• The biology of behavior – evolution, neurobiology, genetics
• The physiology of stress 
• The impacts of stress
• Emotion
• Cognition
• Why some animals are more affected by stress than others
• Preventing and mitigating stress
• Building resilience and stress coping
• Emotional/mental health disorders in animals

This course includes:

• 16+ hours of live lecture (it will also be recorded)
• 16 hours of live discussion and applied activities with Dr. Spaulding  (full students only)
•  Homework assignments (full students only)
• Access to the Science Matters Facebook group
• Certificate of Completion and logo for your marketing materials (for full students, upon succesful course completion)
• 21 CEUs from CCPDT and 25 CEUs from IAABC  for full students
