Creating Wellbeing and Building Resilience in the Veterinary Profession: A Call to Life

Addresses the common stressors and struggles of those in the veterinary profession with a focus on real life stories and academic research. Emphasizes practical ways to build a positive supportive culture within the profession, through self-care and building resilience. A 2018 study in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association gathered more than three decades of data to show that veterinarians are up to 3.5 times more likely to die by suicide than members of the general population. Burnout, compassion fatigue and depression are major issues for the veterinary profession, and this book will help vets address these issues head-on and give them tools to overcome them. Existing books on compassion fatigue tend to be more prescriptive. This book offers a more humanistic perspective, sharing real-life stories to show how we all struggle with similar issues and that there are things we can do to help. It connects readers to the fact that we all struggle, we all suffer, and there is a way to manage your professional life and thrive.
