Work/Life balance, and how we handle stress in both personal and professional worlds is always present and, for some, can be a constant challenge.

In the veterinary profession, overcoming personal struggles combined with the pressures related to providing animal health care can reach critical levels of anxiety, depression and burn out.

Renowned veterinarian and traveler, Brad Ryan, MSc, DVM, MPH, shares an inspiring message of his mental health journey in veterinary medicine … recovery … and resilience through intergenerational support systems.

Dr. Ryan has gained world-wide attention for his message of healing, and who has also taken his 94-year-old grandmother, Joy, on a years-long trek to visit every U.S. National Park, part of the recovery process. In fact, both he and Grandma Joy are still traveling, blazing the trail for others to realize what is important in life.
