September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, focused globally on the triennial theme “Changing the Narrative on Suicide” with the call to action to “Start the Conversation”.

According to World Health Organization, “Changing the narrative also means driving systemic change. It calls for suicide prevention and mental health to be a priority in public policy, urging governments and institutions to take action.”

The March 2026 Vets in Mind newsletter highlights key support tools for the profession, including new Suicide Prevention Guidelines, practical Mental Health and Welfare Triage Tools to help identify and respond to concerns, and free wellbeing-focused CPD courses from Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) aimed at supporting mental health across veterinary teams.

This month, we explored: a financial budgeting triage tool to help you feel more in control of money worries, positive psychology research to support mental well-being, practical financial well-being tips, Vet Dynamics’ free business advice for practice owners, and highlighted a new graduate vet’s reflections on starting clinical work.
