Given the high rates of psychological distress and burnout in veterinary medicine, many veterinary team members are considering education and advocacy in the context of wellbeing. Questions asked regularly are “How can I become a wellbeing advocate?” and “How can I get my team members to take better care of themselves?”. These incredibly important questions are great launching points into a conversation about what it takes to educate and inspire others to foster their mental health and wellbeing.
What you can expect from this episode is a candid conversation about my journey to becoming a mental health and wellbeing advocate, as well as suggestions and strategies for those who strive to do the same. I also share my thoughts on how we can inspire others in our lives to invest in their self-care and wellbeing.
