September is Suicide Prevention Month. We can all help prevent suicide. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with resources and learn more about preventing suicide among veterinarians and others we work with.
Watch AASV members share their stories in the Veterinary Well-being video. Find other resources offered by AASV on the AASV Well-being webpage.
Professional and social networks such as AASV, AVMA, state associations, and Not One More Vet help you build connections and a sense of belonging.
The AVMA provides Gatekeeper Training, an online Wellness Certificatefor CE, and other resources on well-being.
