Today on the show we're going to be talking about a difficult but important topic: the high frequency of suicide in the veterinary profession.
This might come as a bit of a surprise to you if you're not in the veterinary field, so I wanted to make this episode to increase awareness and talk a little bit about what's being done in the community to support vets and vet staff, talk about why this is happening, and give you some resources that might be helpful.
To help us navigate this topic, we are joined by Dr. Carrie Jurney.
Dr. Jurney is a board-certified veterinary neurologist and owner of Jurney Veterinary Neurology, providing neurology services to the San Francisco Bay Area. She is also the current president of NOMV (Not One More Vet), a 501c3 organization that provides financial and professional mental health support to veterinarians and veterinary staff in need.
Dr. Jurney cares so much about this topic, as you'll hear in the episode, so I knew she would be the perfect person to help us understand what's going on.
If you need to know that you're not alone, or you want to help someone else feel less alone, please join us for this episode.
