Georgia Health Report: How pet parents can support veterinarians' mental health

Coming up on the Georgia Health Report, studies show that veterinarians are at a higher risk for developing mental health issues.

What are some ways both veterinarians and their patients can address the issue? WUGA's Emma Auer sits down with Noelle Browning, a clinical counselor at the University of Georgia’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital. She works with both pet parents and the students and vets that take care of their animals.

Emma Auer is an award-winning reporter who joined WUGA as a full-time producer in 2024. She is also a graduate student in UGA's Romance Languages Department, studying French and Spanish. She covers the breadth of Northeast Georgia stories, from Athens City Hall to Winterville farmers' markets. Emma's work has also been heard on Georgia Public Broadcasting.
