Have you heard about this?

🐶Sick As A Dog is an 8-part podcast series about an industry in crisis -a crisis that is killing the people who care for our animals.🐶

👉Whether you are a pet owner, wildlife lover, consumer of animal products or work in the industry, this is for you and about you. It is a whole of community issue, that without change could have dire consequences for us all.

👉Over 8 episodes we go with Caroline as she explores the complex web of issues facing the veterinary industry and the impact that has on its people, the animals they care for, the community they serve and the serious ramifications those issues are having on mental health, lives and livelihoods, food security and animal welfare.

👉In this series you will meet some wonderful people, hear stories of heartache and triumph from the city to the bush and explore the financial, political and community pressure that weighs heavily on vet staff.

​Sick As A Dog is a deep dive into the mental health crisis in the vet profession.

Whether you have five minutes to spare, paperwork to do, or even a trip to the gym - grab those headphones and listen to the Sick as a Dog Podcast.

In a study by Monash University, 2020 - about the occupations with highest risk of su***de, it was reported that ‘The su***de rate amongst vets is twice as high than in other health disciplines, and four times higher than the general population’. Dr Nadine Hamilton says in her study that ‘nearly 70% of veterinarians have lost a colleague or peer to su***de and 60% have sought professional help for their mental health'.

Sophie's Legacy and Flynn's walk are just two amazing initiatives, sadly each brought to life after the loss of their own. These, along with the AVA Thrive Initiative are driving support and awareness in the mental health space in the veterinary industry.

💔Sophie's Legacy is for Beloved vet Dr Sophie Putland, 33, tragically took her own life in September 2021, after industry pressures and client abuse became too much.

💔Flynn’s Walk was started in 2018 following the incredibly sad loss of Dr Flynn Hargreaves (BVSc), after taking his own life - he was only 27.

It's important we are there for each other, offer an ear, and help people to help themselves. Most importantly - to check in.

On the eve of R U Ok Day, we would like to highlight the AVA's THRIVE framework, and support available.

THRIVE is an industry-led veterinary wellness initiative that aims to support veterinarians and veterinary staff to lead satisfying, prosperous, and healthy careers.

Mental health and su***de prevention at work
An integrated wellness approach is recommended when assessing and addressing workplace or workforce mental health.

This encompasses three main areas of activity:
✅ Preventing harm and mental ill-health from psychosocial hazards in the industry.
✅ Promoting mental health by leveraging protective factors such as strengths, capabilities, and the rewards of work.
✅ Protecting individuals who experience stress and mental ill-health.

We are all responsible and accountable to prevent, promote and protect ourselves and each other. By collaborating, workplaces can manage the risks and cultivate ways of working that move towards eliminating, minimizing, and preventing psychological harm.

This framework is applicable to everyone in the veterinary community from students to people working in clinical practice, those in academia, industry, government and any other related veterinary field. We see the framework as a living document which will evolve and improve over time.
