Webinar – 10/9/25 – Maddie’s Insights: Shelter Practices & Barriers in the Use of Anxiety Medications & Alternatives – Maddie’s Fund
Maddie’s Fund Presents: This presentation will include findings from a recently published study examining which psychoactive medications (such as gabapentin, trazodone, and fluoxetine) and non-medication alternatives (such as pheromones and nutraceuticals) are most commonly used in shelters in North America, how shelter staff perceive their efficacy and ease of administration, and the barriers such as cost, uncertainty about efficacy, and time constraints that limit their use, when warranted.
