Prioritizing Mental Health at Vets Pets

May is Mental Health Month — a time to focus on well-being and encourage open conversations about mental health. At Vets Pets, we know the important role mental health plays in every part of life, both personally and professionally. We also recognize the unique challenges caregivers face and believe everyone deserves support.

We are proud to foster a workplace culture where honest conversations about mental health are welcomed, and where resources are readily available to help you and your family thrive.

Here’s a reminder of the mental health support available to you:

  • Spring Health: All medically enrolled employees and their household family members now have access to Spring Health at no cost. This comprehensive mental health solution offers personalized care, a dedicated Care Navigator, and six free therapy sessions plus six free coaching sessions each year. Learn more at vetspets.springhealth.com or download the Spring Health mobile app.

  • HealthAdvocate EAP: For those who waive Vets Pets health plans or work part-time, confidential support remains available through our Employee Assistance Program. HealthAdvocate offers 24/7 access to behavioral health experts and up to three free sessions per person, per issue, each year. Visit healthadvocate.com/members or download the HealthAdvocate mobile app to get started.

This month — and every month — your mental health matters.

Committed to Growth, Committed to Care

 

At Vets Pets, we believe growth and great care go hand in hand. Every day, our teams push themselves to learn new skills, sharpen their techniques, and stay current with advances in veterinary medicine — all to better serve pets and their families.

Today, we are proud to recognize one of our own who is committed to growth and care: Liz Holland, a veterinary assistant at Oak Heart Veterinary Hospital at Dixie Trail, who was recently accepted to NC State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Liz’s drive and dedication reflect the spirit that defines our teams. We are proud of her and excited to see what’s ahead.
