Veterinary Mental Health
TURNING THE STETHOSCOPE AROUND - A podcast that dives deeper than compassion fatigue to explore the full complexity of mental health and wellness in the veterinary profession. In each episode you will be invited to examine your thoughts, habits, behaviors, and environment. Together we will identify patterns and create opportunities to improve your everyday quality-of-life and overall mental health. To increase your access to wellness information and resources, I invite you to sign up for my twice monthly newsletter.
