Caffeinators, welcome back for the second episode in our Mental Health Awareness Month series, May 2022. For this episode, we caught up with Cat Walker, Bachelor of International Studies (Hons 1), Bachelor of Laws, Graduate Diploma of Legal Practice, Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, Registered Veterinary Nurse, from way down under in Australia! You may know Cat as Radio Vet Nurse, and Jeff has been a guest on her podcast. Cat's world turned upside down in late 2020, as her veterinarian husband battled substance use disorder. Cat talks about how she navigated, and continues to navigate, this difficult process and how things changed in the blink of an eye. She talks about his path forward, but also her own, and how her personal and professional life were altered as a result of his struggles. She discusses how getting help for herself was vital in her path forward and how the stresses she was experiencing as a result of all of this affected her health and wellness. This episode looks at substance abuse from a slightly different angle from our last episode, yet, still analyzes the veterinary field input on this problem. Newsflash: It's not just limited to struggles in this profession in the US. It's a global struggle. If you, or someone you love, are struggling with addiction or substance abuse, please visit the links below for further information.
