September is Suicide Prevention Month
September 15, 2019 — AASV Staff
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 Wellbeing video.
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 Certificate for CE, and resources on Wellbeing.
