Kite Program funds mental health support app for StreetVet volunteers
"We are overjoyed to be able to support StreetVet with their very own wellbeing app" - Laura Millross, head of Kite Veterinary.
The Kite Program has provided StreetVet with its own version of the kite app. 

StreetVet, a national charity which provides free veterinary care for pets whose owners are experiencing homelessness, has received support from The Kite Program (Kite), a wellbeing platform.

Kite supports the mental health of professionals in challenging roles including veterinary professionals, and has provided StreetVet with its own version of Kite's wellbeing app, which offers mindfulness guidance and wellbeing advice, in order to support the mental health of StreetVet's volunteers. 

Jade Statt, StreetVet co-founder and clinical director, commented: “We see the physical and emotional time put in by our volunteers everyday at StreetVet, and knowing they have free and easy access to tools that will help them manage the load of their incredible work, is priceless to us. 

“We are very grateful to Kite as it makes our work as a charity more sustainable for our volunteers and clients.”

Head of Kite Veterinary, Laura Millross, said: “We are overjoyed to be able to support StreetVet with their very own wellbeing app. StreetVet’s volunteers face a range of challenges that the rest of the veterinary profession won’t see day-to-day, which is why having their own resource is especially important. We hope they will find it a useful and supportive tool to have on hand.”

Kite has fully funded the app to StreetVet volunteers, and hopes that it will help them manage the psychological impacts of their work.
