Why Veterinary Mental Health Matters— and Why Hope Is Needed Now

Veterinary professionals dedicate their careers to caring for animals and the people who love them. Behind that commitment, however, are pressures that can take a significant emotional toll: demanding workloads, difficult clinical decisions, financial pressures, compassion fatigue, challenging client interactions, repeated exposure to grief and loss, and the responsibility of caring for animals at their most vulnerable.
