About the webinar*

Depression, anxiety, and suicide plague the veterinary medicine profession. Signs often go unrecognized or are ignored as we struggle to talk about mental health. For every seven of you who are reading this, one has considered suicide at some point. Most of us personally know or know of someone who has committed suicide.

This webinar provides information on the most common reasons veterinarians contemplate suicide and proven tools that we can use to help minimize the risk or even prevent it among our colleagues.
