<p>In this episode of Out of Practice, we observe Mental Health Awareness Month by diving into the essential, yet often daunting, process of seeking professional support.<br /><br />While the veterinary profession is increasingly open about mental health challenges, the practical steps of finding help can feel overwhelming when you’re already operating at capacity.

Whether you’re looking for a therapist for the first time or seeking better ways to support your team, this conversation offers a roadmap for the journey.</p>
