💚 September is Su***de Prevention Month — and we want to talk about something that deeply matters to us: the mental health of veterinary professionals.
Working in emergency veterinary medicine is incredibly rewarding, but it can also be incredibly difficult. We care for animals and the people who love them through some of the most frightening, heartbreaking, and stressful moments of their lives. Our teams experience loss, compassion fatigue, difficult decisions, long hours, and the emotional weight that comes with caring so deeply.
That’s why we’re proud to recognize Not One More Vet (NOMV) and the important work they do to support veterinary professionals and raise awareness about mental health within our profession.
💚 You are not alone.
💚 Asking for help is not a weakness.
💚 Your life matters beyond your job.
💚 There is no shame in saying, “I’m struggling.”
This month, we encourage our veterinary community — veterinarians, technicians, assistants, receptionists, managers, students, and everyone who supports animal care — to check in with one another. Sometimes a simple “How are you really doing?” can open the door to a conversation that someone desperately needs.
If you’re struggling, please reach out to someone you trust or connect with professional support. If you believe someone may be in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services or crisis line.

And to our veterinary team: we see you, we appreciate you, and we want you here.
Not One More Vet. 💚🐾
