Veterinarians have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession; compound that profession with any marginalized identity and the risk of mental illness and/or suicide completion only increases. PrideVMC acknowledges this trend in order to help our community members combat it.

Experiencing any form of marginalization is a mentally exhausting and emotionally draining experience that may require assistance. We strive to provide as many resources as possible to our community members to assist them through difficult times. Below are some resources to help someone experiencing a mental health crisis. For ongoing mental health issues, we highly encourage individuals to seek out a professional.

There is no shame in having a mental illness–it is not a morality defeat or a sign of weakness. Please help us destigmatize this illness by being open in your support of those suffering from it.
