The Anti-Cyber Harassment Task Force, created by Dr. Meghan Vaught and Sarah Mills, aims to protect the mental health and well-being of veterinary professionals affected by cyber harassment. Thanks to the support of Koala Health, the task force has released a new resource to aid those in the veterinary community impacted by such attacks. The task force consists of professionals from the veterinary and communications industries and has identified four goals: to prevent cyber harassment, support those who are being targeted, provide tools for colleagues to aid those affected, and distribute educational resources throughout the veterinary community.
“At NOMV, we recognize that cyber harassment is a growing problem impacting the mental well-being of the veterinary community, and we are committed to supporting those impacted,” said Bri Golob, MSW, Registered Clinical Social Work Intern, Director of Programs at NOMV. “We are thrilled to have such a talented and experienced group of professionals on our Anti-Cyber Harassment Task Force, and we look forward to sharing the resources created by this incredible team with the veterinary community.”
“Koala Health works closely with pet parents and vets every day, so we’re committed to helping our veterinarian partners and their staff develop the necessary tools to prevent and fight harassment and create a safe and secure working environment,” stated Gavin Cotter, CEO of Koala Health.
