Flynn's Walk coming to Melbourne and Canberra in 2023

Flynn's Walk is walking and talking to highlight the challenges many in the veterinary field face, spread awareness in the wider community and put the focus on well-being.

Flynn’s Walk was founded in 2018 following the incredibly sad loss of veterinarian Dr Flynn Hargreaves. The walk was created to honour his memory, bring together the community and spread awareness of the mental health issues faced by veterinary professionals.

Their aim is to help break down the stigma surrounding mental health challenges and suicide – both significant issues in the veterinary industry. By holding public walk events, they raise the profile of veterinary mental health and bring awareness to the community.

They have upcoming events in Melbourne and Canberra, and invite anyone associated with the veterinary industry to attend. Thanks to the Petbarn foundation, free coffee, tea and hot chocolate will be available before the walk, and a free sausage sizzle (including vego + gluten free options) will be held at the end.
