September is suicide awareness month and I have joined NOMVs fundraiser to support every veterinarian and veterinary worked who has dealt with mental strain and illness.
The profession that I love and have pledged my life to is in danger. The rate of suicide among veterinarians and the degree of mental health challenges we all face is continuing to grow. Veterinarians face the stress of paying back immense student loans in addition to the emotional and physical stress of our everyday work. Multiple colleagues and friends of mine have lost their life to suicide and we continue to feel the echos of their loss. Not One More Vet (NOMV) was created to support those in the veterinary field and to improve the health of the profession. Their support group on Facebook has been a positive outlet for many of us and has provided a way for members to support each other and connect. Through fundraiser like this one, they are able to provide resources, support programs, and new projects that are so important!!!
Please donate today and support your veterinarian!!!
