Where to get help

A veterinary career can be stressful and demanding at times. Sometimes, the pressures of our professional and personal lives call for some external help so we better deal with the opportunities and challenges life throws at us.

The New Zealand Veterinary Association Te Pae Kīrehe (NZVA) is committed to providing members with mental health and wellbeing support.

Just as veterinarians encourage their clients to seek help early, we encourage all veterinarians to do the same when it comes to their emotional, mental and physical health.
