From FHE Health website (Why they have this contest/Bringing awareness!😊): ⬇️
It’s not every day that we get to honor a therapy dog for its excellence in service or support our first responders and their mental health. Now we’re doing both, by offering the “First Responder Paws Therapy Dog Award.” This nationwide contest will showcase therapy dogs everywhere in the many roles they fill, while also spotlighting therapy dogs that assist first responders—and the critical need for more such dogs, both in South Florida and in communities across the U.S.

💜💜💜Vote for Polar!💜💜💜

🩺Today is 'World Mental Health Day,' 💭a time to raise awareness and promote the well-being of veterinary professionals…♥️
➡️who face a higher than average rate of anxiety, depression, compassion fatigue, burnout, and su***de, compared to most careers. 💔

How to help:
-Support organizations like 'Not One More Vet,' whose outreach program provides resources and services to people who work in the veterinary field, to help improve mental health.💜
-Be kind. You never know what someone is going through inside. A compliment, smile, or gentle hello can be the difference in making someone's day better.💜

-Veterinary hospitals should be encouraged to continue to prioritize mental health care and create supportive environments for the staff.💜
