Council member, Sophie Eaden, speaks to Mental Health First Aid trainer and equine vet, Kirstie Pickles, about the role mental health first aid can have in embracing a practice culture which is supportive of good mental health. Having both had times where their mental health has suffered while in equine practice, they know the impact the team around you can have. Passionate about making that experience less painful for others, they discuss what individuals and practices can do to make it better.
