A new series of mental health and wellbeing sessions are soon to be available to veterinary professionals across the UK.
The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Mind Matters Initiative (MMI) and the Veterinary Management Group (VMG) came up with the initiative to help combat the worsening mental health crisis in the veterinary sector.
Training will take place via VMG’s online platform and run until April 2023.
Mind Matters Initiative Manager, Lisa Quigley, said: “Mental health and wellbeing are impacted by a whole host of structural and societal factors and maintaining a healthy workforce goes far beyond supporting people on an individual level.
“Whilst it is undoubtedly important to provide people with the skills they need to look after themselves, we are aiming to expand on this by providing individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to recognise and address wider collective issues. For example, the importance of creating and maintaining a positive workplace culture.
The first session, which will discuss psychological safety and civility, is due to take place on January 24.
To find out more about the schedule and how to get involved, visit the Mind Matters website.
Choice Vets wholeheartedly supports this initiative and hopes it will help support those struggling with their mental health and shed light on issues that need urgently addressing in the veterinary sector.
