First, Do No Harm: Veterinary Workplace Response to Suicide with Dr. Marie Holowaychuk
The suicide of a colleague or co-worker can lead to significant grief and distress for those in the workplace. Recently developed resources have been created to help leaders and team members navigate the aftermath of a suicide. In honour of World Suicide Prevention Day, we joined Dr. Marie Holowaychuk as she shared tools and strategies for helping the veterinary community grieve, cope, and memorialize employees, while reducing the risk to vulnerable team members. Attendees came away knowing best practices for a workplace response to the suicide of a team member.
