Together we strive for better mental health support for veterinary professionals-Help Zoetis raise the next $100,000 for Beyond Blue

Whilst it’s well-known our farmers can be vulnerable to mental health challenges due to stressful weather associated events and financial worries, the impact on the wider community in these areas is little known - from farmers and their families, to re-sellers, regional businesses, and much of the community as the effects trickle through the local economy. We are passionate about the importance of good mental wellbeing and look forward to helping again this year.” “Together we’ve made strong progress in providing tangible contributions to raise awareness of mental health challenges and help fund much needed services that directly assist rural families. “Zoetis is proud to once again be supporting Beyond Blue and the important work they do,” says Lance Williams, Senior Zoetis Vice President and Cluster Lead, Australia and New Zealand. The money raised goes directly to Beyond Blue’s Support Service to continue to help more people in rural communities than anywhere else in Australia. 1 Zoetis, who works closely with rural Australia through interactions with the country’s farmers, agricultural stores, veterinarians and their families, has helped raise $600,000 in the past six years by donating $5 from each sale of the company’s livestock, pig and poultry vaccines and drenches. Tragically, suicide rates of people in remote areas are double that in our major cities. Leading Animal Health company Zoetis continues to support the mental health challenges faced by people in rural Australia through its crucial partnership with Beyond Blue, committing to raise up to $100,000 to support the charity in 2022.
