Here at The Quoo, mental health awareness and support is a cause very dear to our hearts. Christopher has battled with severe mental illness and neurodivergence their entire life, and Scott is no stranger to mental health challenges himself. We aim to share real stories about mental health, identity, healing, and life outside of the “neurotypical” box.

Not One More Vet is organization that “envision(s) a veterinary profession the honours and elevates sustainable wellbeing”. This is a cause and calling that hits very close to home for The Quookeepers. Scott retired from clinic work after a major depressive episode linked to his proximity to clinic work, and is an advocate for better access to supports and resources for folks within the veterinary community.
