NOMV PSA video
On October 1st, 2014, Dr. Nicole McArthur founded NOMV (Not One More Vet) in response to the heartbreaking suicide of the esteemed veterinarian, Dr. Sophia Yin. What began as a humble Facebook group soon blossomed into a vibrant veterinary mental health community where veterinarians could share their triumphs and challenges, offering each other a lifeline of understanding and support.
As the conversations grew, so did our community, surpassing anything Dr. McArthur could have imagined. Today, our forum boasts a membership of around 40,000 veterinary professionals, each contributing to our network's collective strength and resilience.
Our mission is to transform the status of mental wellness in the profession so veterinary professionals can survive and thrive through education, resources, and support.
What We Do
NOMV has evolved into a remarkable non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of veterinary professionals and students worldwide. We provide vital education, unwavering support, and essential resources, creating a sanctuary where those who care for animals can find the care they need themselves. Together, we are transforming the landscape of veterinary medicine and veterinary mental health, ensuring that no vet feels alone.
Peer Support
We can help each other together. NOMV cultivates local support networks and communities through a variety of channels, including our NOMV Ambassador Program, our Student Support & Mentorship Committee, international Facebook forums, and Lifeboat, our revolutionary anonymous online peer-to-peer support system.
Outreach & Awareness
You’re never alone. To spread the word about NOMV, our speakers regularly provide lectures and workshops on the topics of veterinary wellness and well-being. We also founded the International Outreach project to reduce the stigma around mental health in the veterinary field and make available resources widely known and accessible.
