This webinar looks at how to keep a healthy mindset while studying and working in the veterinary industry. It covers why mental health matters in a profession built on empathy and care, the pressures of client expectations, cost and unpredictable days, and the loss and emotional stress that can come with patient deaths and traumatic cases. It explains the difference between compassion fatigue and burnout and what can lead to each.
It then covers practical strategies for work life balance, staying healthy, keeping connected and setting small goals, and how students can manage confidence, stress and time on placement. It finishes with the positives of working in the industry and a list of support services.
Presented by Jennifer Peart as part of the ACVN webinar series.
