FVE - Federation of Veterinarians of Europe

As part of the 2026 European Mental Health Week activities, we are delighted to let you know that VetJoy will launch official channels on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn. These platforms will support the dissemination of information, resources and good practices and foster constructive dialogue on mental well-being within the veterinary community across Europe.

The mental health of veterinarians is a matter of European public interest.
Without healthy professionals, there can be no effective animal health systems, no robust food safety, and no sustainable One Health approach.

Improving mental well-being in the veterinary profession requires action at all levels – from individual workplaces to professional organisations and policymakers.
Through VetJoy, FVE, FECAVA and IVSA reaffirm their commitment to coordinated, cross‑level action with European and national stakeholders.

A key highlight of this year’s campaign is the Great Veterinary Workplace Award, which recognises outstanding veterinary workplaces across Europe that go above and beyond to support their teams.
