Your Veterinary Practice's Roadmap to Success

Veterinary Visionaries' inaugural solving event was a powerful reminder of the importance of mental health, wellbeing, and suicide prevention in our veterinary community. And guess what? The result of that collective effort is finally here – your free downloadable Psychological Health and Safety Guidelines!

This groundbreaking document is your resource for creating a thriving veterinary practice. It emphasizes the powerful impact of the culture you cultivate within your organization. Clear communication, robust safety measures, and a trauma-informed approach are all essential tools you can wield to build a stronger workplace.

But it gets even better! The Guidelines champion work-life balance, physical health, mental health support, and professional growth opportunities. By prioritizing these elements, you can cultivate a nurturing and inclusive environment that empowers your team, boosts morale, and ultimately, the success of your practice.

Here's how the Guidelines can help you:

  • Build a Strong Foundation: Discover strategies to foster a culture of transparency, security, and inclusivity – the bedrock of a healthy workplace for your team.
  • Prioritize Your Team's Wellbeing: Learn strategies to promote work-life balance, prioritize physical health, and provide essential mental health support for your team.
  • Invest in Growth: Empower your team with opportunities for continuous professional development and cultivate a trauma-informed environment.

The "Psychological Health and Safety Guidelines" isn't just a guide, it's a blueprint for creating a veterinary practice where everyone thrives. It's about empowering you to create a workplace where your team feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.

A profession-wide solution space.

Veterinary Visionaries®, a collaborative effort of leading veterinary organizations working together to solve the profession’s biggest challenges, created its first crowdsourced solving campaign in May 2022.

This pilot event — generously supported by Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, CareCredit, and IDEXX — addressed pervasive and rapidly growing issues among veterinary teams — mental health, psychological wellbeing, and suicide prevention.

A panel of mental health and veterinary professionals reviewed all submissions and ranked each based on systemic impact, evidence based approach, feasibility, sustainability, and reach. A Solution Squad is hard at work creating an implementation plan based on the winning idea that will be provided to the entire profession in Fall 2023.
