Raising awareness of the mental health challenges faced by veterinary professionals.

About us

Flynn's Walk is an Australian based health promotion charity raising much needed awareness of the mental health challenges faced by veterinary professionals in their line of work. We encourage meaningful conversations about mental health through our public walk events across Australia. Our events are open to all and we encourage attendees to spend time connecting with others to create openness about mental health and reduce stigma that surrounds asking for help.

  • INTRODUCING OUR SILVER SPONSOR 🩶 A big welcome to Boehringer Ingleheim Animal Health, who are our silver sponsor and silent auction supporter! We feel very grateful for the support and lucky to have such amazing people backing this event, here's a message from them: "At Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, we understand just how tough it can be to work in the veterinary field. Vets face incredible emotional and mental challenges every day, from caring for beloved pets to supporting owners during some of their hardest moments. More often than not, a veterinarian’s entire capacity for compassion is used at work leaving very little for themselves or their loved ones. That is why we’re proud to support the Vet Gala Ball. This event is about raising awareness for an issue that’s often overlooked – veterinary mental health and its impact on lives and career sustainability. We want to stand with the amazing people who dedicate their lives to caring for animals and let them know they’re not alone. Sponsoring this event is just another way we can shine a light on this critical issue and be part of the solution."

    Great to be in the room on Monday for The Australian Veterinary Association Cultivating Safe Teams stakeholder summit in Sydney. Such valuable knowledge and perspectives in the room - thanks to all who shared. Well done to Monika Cole for bringing everyone together. - The Cultivating Safe Teams program has been piloted in 50 veterinary workplaces and has reached over 700 people to date. At it's core, the program is designed to ensure workplace teams are safe and great, in order to thrive. Yesterday's summit was an opportunity to hear the initial findings and workshop what the future of the program could look like.

  • We've loved having the Petbarn Foundation team at our events this year supporting our mission to increase wellbeing in the veterinary world. Each year, Petbarn's Tree of Hope fundraising appeal raises vital funds that are distributed to Australian charities (yes, like us!) to improve the lives of pets and the people who care for them. We're excited to be among the 90 nominated charities for 2025. You can donate to the ToH campaign online or at your local Petbarn store! 🎄 https://lnkd.in/gA3y-uz
