An open letter to our community,
NOMV was built on a simple belief: veterinary professionals deserve support, especially in hard moments. That belief has guided this organization since its founding, and it continues to guide us now.
Over the past several weeks, we've made decisions regarding volunteer roles that have raised real questions and real concern within our community. We hear that concern, and we take it seriously.
We are taking a step back to reflect, carefully and honestly, on these decisions and on the process behind them. That reflection is already underway, and we are committed to doing it thoroughly rather than quickly. We will not discuss confidential personnel matters publicly, both because that is the right thing to do for everyone involved, and because it is what we would want for any member of this community.
What we can say is this: NOMV's mission has not changed, and our commitment to the people who make this community what it is has not changed.
We are here for you and we are listening.

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 educational resources, peer support programs, and our VMHS sessions.
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.
