In order to more fully recognize and respond to the human-animal violence link, different individuals and organizations need to be effectively collaborating, within and across sectors. In this presentation, we focus in particular on two linked avenues for collaboration: cross-reporting and other forms of communication. We begin by providing an overview of the state of link-related collaboration in Canada. Then we synthesize what is being done in other key jurisdictions, particularly the policies and practices that hold the most promise for the Canadian context.
