CVMA Presents: The Working Mind Manager Courses

Date: Oct 28 - 29, 2026
Location: Remote

A recent study revealed that nearly 10% of veterinarians and 18% of veterinary support staff experience serious psychological distress at work

Serious occupational stressors in veterinary practice, such as high workloads, moral distress, and emotional demands, can take a heavy toll on mental health and team coordination. These challenges contribute to emotional exhaustion, staff turnover, reduced workplace productivity, and loss of professional self-worth, meaning and identity.
 

Both The Working Mind (TWM) Employee and Manager courses are delivered by Dr. Leann Benedetti and Dr. Marie Holowaychuk, both veterinarians with deep experience and additional certifications in mental health.

Courses include:

  • Workshop manuals
  • Contact-based videos
  • Breakout discussion exercises
  • Personal goal setting to apply coping strategies in real life
  • Research shows that participants demonstrate increased resilience skills, reduced stigmatizing attitudes, and improved mental health and well-being.

Pricing:

  • Virtual course pricing: $38 for CVMA members | $76 for non-members
  • Participant limits: Maximum 15 participants per course; minimum 8 required for effective delivery
  • Open to all roles in veterinary medicine — veterinarians, RVTs, client care staff, assistants, and managers in every practice type
  • CE Certificates available
  • In-person courses: Rates may vary depending on venue and associated costs
