Show Notes
Kia ora, welcome to the Vet Thrive Collective podcast hosted by Dr. Megan Alderson. In this episode, you’ll meet Megan and her cousin Charlotte Hobson. Together they’ve created the Vet Thrive proactive well-being program.
The Vet Thrive Collective was born out of a desire to help other vet professionals and build a community of like-minded people.
After facing her own challenges with mental health Megan was motivated to find a way to enhance her well-being while managing a busy veterinary practice.
During their discussion, Megan and Charlotte talk about:
How Megan created the Vet Thrive Collective program
How the program has helped staff well-being within her own practice
Megan’s journey with mental health
And more!
