Mental Health in Veterinary Medicine
Embracing both the rewards and challenges of veterinary practice
Veterinary work—in clinics, wildlife settings, or academic environments—offers daily inspiration and variety: no two days are the same, and each moment brings its unique rewards. Yet, this same practice can also present demanding situations—whether caring for critically ill animals, navigating difficult conversations with caretakers, or coping with extended workdays.
Recognizing these realities, we remain committed to fostering resilience, professional support, and compassionate care across our community.
Things that are important to remember:
- You are not alone!
- There is help!
Here is a list of different help-lines and resources available. The list is under constant review and will be updated as more resources become available.
