The RCVS Mind Matters Initiative has opened bookings for online and in-person ‘Managing Mental Health in the Workplace’ workshops for veterinary professionals.

The workshops have been co-authored with a workplace wellbeing company called Ultimate Resilience, and will be delivered by two of the company's clinical psychologists: Dr Felicity Baker and Dr Jackie Allt.

The sessions will focus on leadership skills, recognising early signs of stress and burnout, and practising conversations to support colleagues.

The workshops will run for designated groups across the profession during March, April, May and June. 

Places are limited to 16 per workshop and cost £150 per person and online places cost £120.

The RCVS is also running a free ‘Work, mental health and mood’ webinar on Monday 30 March, 6.30pm to 7.45pm.

The webinar will cover recognising mood and affective disorders at work, supporting colleagues, reducing stigma, and signposting to help.

Speakers are clinical psychologist Dr Marco Vivolo, veterinary mental health researcher James Glass MRCVS, and wellbeing instructor Emma Sadler RVN.
