New online resources to support mental wellbeing
"We hope as many people as possible will join us to pause, reflect and share stories in a safe irtual space" - Lisa Quiqley, MMI manager.
New digital wellbeing resources to help veterinary professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic have been published by the RCVS' Mind Matters Initiative (MMI).
The resources, which include a series of three webinars and a programme of free online reflection sessions, have been launched to reflect Mental Health Week (18-24 May), of which this year's theme is kindness.
MMI manager Lisa Quiqley said: “We know also that many of those with existing mental health conditions, such as anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), will be finding this a particularly challenging time. We hope as many people as possible will join us to pause, reflect, and share stories in a safe virtual space.”
To sign up to the webinars or to register your interest for the reflection sessions, visit vetmindmatters.org/events. Webinar recordings will be made available on the MMI website after the event.
Veterinary practices are being urged to help owners safely dispose of any unused and expired pet medicines - not just antibiotics - during November's Animal Medicines Amnesty.
