R U OK? Day 2022 - Join the AVA webinar and share what you're doing
26 Aug 2022
The AVA supports the mental health and wellbeing of veterinarians. Our THRIVE initiative, launched this year, supports veterinarians and veterinary staff to lead satisfying, prosperous and healthy careers.
In support of R U OK? Day, which is coming up on 8 September 2022, the AVA are putting on a special webinar that is available to all members.
We invite you to make a cuppa and join us for a short time to listen to our guest presenter, Dr Olivia Oginska, share her experience on the importance of psychological safety.
In particular, what is incivility and how to support yourself and your colleagues when experiencing it, and the impact that incivility can have on work/team culture. There will also be some shared stories from veterinary colleagues on how they have been supported and how they have supported others when facing life challenges.
Dr Oginska will be introduced by AVA President Dr Bronwyn Orr.
The webinar takes place on 8 September 2022 from 12:30pm EST. Make sure to register for the event.
The AVA are also putting out a call for veterinarians and veterinary clinics to tell us what you are doing on R U OK? Day. Are you having a morning tea? A team-bonding experience? Are you raising money for a mental health charity, or even just making sure you check in on one another?
Whatever you’re planning to do for R U OK? Day, we’d love to hear about it so we can spread the word. Send photos and videos to communications@ava.com.au and we will share on social media, our website and in our newsletter.
