Training programme to build understanding of mental health challenges
The programme will be delivered by carefully-selected trainers from across various organisations.
The RCVS MMI initiative is open to all members of the veterinary team.

A new, free-of-charge training programme has been launched by the RCVS Mind Matters Initiative (MMI) for all members of the veterinary team.

Incorporating four separate training streams, the programme aims to give delegates a deeper understanding of the multiple mental health and wellbeing challenges facing veterinary professionals.

The programme will be delivered by carefully-selected trainers from various organisations, who each participated in a training pilot earlier this year. The four key streams include:
  • looking after yourself
  • looking after others
  • mental health awareness
  • equality, diversity & inclusion (EDI) and civility.
Mind Matters Initiative manager, Lisa Quigley, said: “We are delighted to be launching our new MMI training programme. The spring training pilot was a great success, and we received positive feedback from delegates on all our selected training providers.

"At MMI, we strive to support the professions in the most effective way we can. This is why the four training streams are so important. Mental health and wellbeing challenges are multifactorial, and our support systems must take this into account. There is no quick fix, but we hope that our training will aid in the development of lifelong skills and knowledge which can be applied both now and in the future.”

The MMI training sessions take place online and in person, with places allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. The training is open to the entire veterinary profession and counts towards CPD.
