NOMV Anti-Cyber Harassment Task Force Releases Crisis Folder for Veterinary Professionals

NOMV thank you

Not One More Vet's (NOMV) Anti-Cyber Harassment Task Force is excited to release a new resource to support the veterinary community members impacted by cyber harassment. This project is possible thanks to the generous contribution of our sponsor Koala Health

The Anti-Cyber-Harassment Task Force seeks to protect the mental health and well-being of veterinary professionals from the damage caused by cyber harassment attacks. The task force was co-created by Dr. Meghan Vaught, DVM, DACVECC, Medical Director at MVMC and Sarah Mills, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Rarebreed.

The task force, composed of experienced professionals from the veterinary and communications industries, identified four goals: to provide resources to veterinary professionals to prevent cyber harassment; to support those who are being cyber harassed; to provide veterinary professionals with tools to support their colleagues experiencing cyber harassment; and to create cyber harassment educational resources and distribute them throughout the veterinary community.

"At NOMV, we recognize that cyber harassment is a growing problem impacting the mental well-being of the veterinary community, and we are committed to supporting those impacted," said Bri Golob, MSW, Registered Clinical Social Work Intern, Director of Programs at NOMV. "We are thrilled to have such a talented and experienced group of professionals on our Anti-Cyber Harassment Task Force, and we look forward to sharing the resources created by this incredible team with the veterinary community."

"Koala Health works closely with pet parents and vets every day, so we're committed to helping our veterinarian partners and their staff develop the necessary tools to prevent and fight harassment and create a safe and secure working environment," stated Gavin Cotter, CEO of Koala Health.
