Mental health has been a steady, yet growing, concern in the veterinary industry. The Center for Disease Control has found that male veterinarians are 2.1 times, and female veterinarians 3.5 times, more likely to die by suicide than the general U.S. population. These are alarming numbers and the way that we begin to make a change is by creating awareness.
B.W. Furlong Associates has partnered with Not One More Vet (nomv.org), an online veterinary support group, to put on a 5K race open to the public to help raise awareness throughout our community. All proceeds from the race will be donated to NOMV.
