Unconscious bias (also known as implicit bias) is a prejudice or judgment that is present but not consciously recognized. Every person has unconscious biases that we attribute to another person or group of people, which thereby impact our instinctual decisions and reactions. And it happens without us realizing it! 

In honour of Pride Month, in this episode we discuss the many different forms of unconscious bias, how they impact our day-to-day decisions and interactions, and how we can reduce them to foster equity and inclusion in the veterinary workplace.

Good mental health isn’t about being happy all the time. In fact, a mentally healthy life includes the full range of human emotions – even the uncomfortable ones like sadness, fear, anxiety, and anger. These emotions are a part of being human and pushing them down doesn’t make them go away.

On the contrary, one of the best ways to quiet our emotions is to give them a voice. Join me as I talk you through practical tools to boost emotional literacy, thereby fostering mental health and wellbeing.
