eNews June 2019 Header 1 red
 

Hi Member,

A few months ago I received an email from a veterinarian thanking me for including some information on what to say to someone suffering mental health problems (10 things to say (& 10 not to say) to a friend suffering mental health problems) as she recently had a client who had talked about suicide.

I couldn't imagine how confronting this must have been so I emailed Dr Nadine Hamilton, psychologist, author & founder of both Love Your Pet Love Your Vet and Positive Psych Solutions and asked if she would write a post with advice for such a situation. So this week you'll find: What to do when a veterinary colleague or client self-discloses or talks about suicide.

Also this week we have a new post from Nicola (Brilliant Bookkeeping) that explains STP (Single Touch Payroll) - if you employ just one person, then you need to understand STP: Winter is coming & so is Single Touch Payroll - are you compliant?

Finally, it's your last chance to save 20% on the ticket price to attend the 'Unleashed Online Conference'. It's on THIS weekend (13-14 July) but even if you can't make all 14 hours of content, your ticket gives you 3 months access to all the recorded sessions so it's definitely worth checking out (especially with your 20% discount as a Vetanswers Member!)

Our aim has always been to help you...

Save Time, Connect & Discover!

Enjoy your reading :)

What to do when a veterinary colleague or client self-discloses or talks about suicide (Guest Post)

“Don’t tell anyone, but I want to end it all”. These are words none of us wants to hear. Why? Because often we feel incredibly uncomfortable with being faced with the responsibility of responding, and also because we don’t know what to say or how to respond.
Winter is coming... And so is Single Touch Payroll - are you compliant red

Winter is coming & so is Single Touch Payroll - are you compliant? (Guest Post)

Ok so winter is here & STP has nothing to do with Game of Thrones - it stands for Single Touch Payroll. Still none the wiser? Don’t worry, you aren’t alone, but if you are one of the 700,000 small businesses in Australia with one or more employees, then you need to be.

Monday 8.07.2019: No job is worth your mental health and there is no shame in leaving – even if you have only been in the workplace a short time.
Tuesday 9.07.2019: For professionals in the pet industry, finding the right insurance to protect your business is a must as it gives you the peace of mind knowing that if anything goes wrong you have a measure of financial protection.
Wednesday 10.07.2019: The only way to avoid failure is never to try anything new; never to step outside what’s comfortable and easy. And that’s never going to allow you to make the difference you’re here to make in the world.
Thursday 11.07.2019: You may only see clients a couple of times a year with limited time to discuss a range of issues concerning the best care for their animals. However, each time a client reads your blog posts is an extra point of contact with them.
Friday 12.07.2019: Acupuncture as an adjunct to treatment of lumbosacral and degenerative joint disease in a pug.
