VHF highlights veterinarian mental health

by Katie Pfaff

As part of a collaboration between Veterinary Hope Foundation and World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10), the duo seeks to increase knowledge of mental health struggles in the profession. Veterinarians have a suicide rate three times higher than the overall population.

Created by veterinarians, VHF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on education and programs to connect professionals in veterinary care. Veterinarian and mental health experts manage support groups that are designed to help veterinarians navigate difficult situations and create work-life balance.

"Veterinary Hope Foundation started with the belief that despite the heartache and pain that many veterinarians currently feel, there is hope," said Blair McConnel, veterinarian and co-founder, Veterinary Hope Foundation. "This World Suicide Prevention Day, we're hoping to spread the word about the resources, council and help Veterinary Hope Foundation is offering. Our first support group launches later this month."

VHF has also created PSA videos on the subject. In addition, a campaign focuses on encouraging pet owners to share messages of support and appreciation to veterinarians.
