Happy New Year to our wonderful Women in Wildlife Community! We are kicking off the podcast in 2025 covering an extremely important topic- mental health in the wildlife industry. Who better to delve into this topic with than the executive director of "Not One More Vet", which is an important not-for-profit organisation focusing on tackling suicide and mental health in the veterinary profession. Outside of her role at NOMV, Gigi is a therapist, leadership coach, and consultant. Gigi talked us through the crisis that veterinary professionals are facing, and the multitude of factors that contribute to it. Gigi shares some strategies on how to cope with the pressures that all animal workers face, including but not exclusive to; compassion fatigue, eco-anxiety, and imposter syndrome. We also hear all about the incredible resources that NOMV provide, which you can learn about through their website: https://nomv.org/.*Disclaimer*: We do cover sensitive topics in this episode, which includes the mention of suicide. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or a crisis, please reach out immediately to the suicide prevention hotline in your country: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicide_crisis_linesAny questions or queries contact [email protected] to our resources:Website: https://women-in-wildlife.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/women.in.wildlife/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100077369770841Linked in: https://www.linkedin.com/company/womeninwildlifeMusic by Thomas Hagen from SLAUX
