As many of you may know, it’s Mental Health Awareness Week from 10th-16th May. Here at The Webinar Vet, we know the importance of both talking about and taking care of your mental health, especially within the veterinary profession.

That’s why we have put together this blog post, to consolidate some of our upcoming and past recourses on mental health and wellbeing, all in one place.

PODCASTS

Our podcast, VetChat, has had some amazing guests join us when talking about mental health and wellbeing within the veterinary profession:

Rosie Allister chats all about the level of responsibility-experience mismatch in graduates and how this affects not only graduates but those who support them in practice. Listen to this podcast here.

Stephen, Anna and Nick from Its Mental, an organisation that provides people with knowledge and skills on how to better manage their Mental Well-being, chat about all things mental well-being and how you can take an active approach to look after yourself and make it fit around your busy life. Listen to this podcast here.
