Unique stressors
As a veterinarian, you face work stressors that are unique to your profession. The everyday challenges of meeting client expectations, working long hours, and balancing priorities outside of work can take its toll on your mental health and well-being. Your health matters and it’s important to know when and where to seek help.
Building mental health strategies for the profession happens at all levels to provide multiple supports and resources that can be accessed by individual veterinarians, and through their employers and professional organizations.
