About Casara
I am Dr. Casara Andre. I am a practicing veterinarian in Colorado. I am also a veteran - I served as a veterinarian for the U.S.Army Veterinary Corps during my early career. Currently, my veterinary practice specializes in treating behavioral disorders in animals, particularly those induced by emotional trauma.
As a veteran, the numbers of suicides of among our veteran community are disheartening. 40-44 veterans commit suicide daily. As a veterinarian, the suicide rates are also staggering. 1 in 6 veterinarians considers committing suicide. The mental health of caregivers across veterinary and human medicine is declining rapidly, and yet, this is a time when the state of our planet's health requires all caregivers, all Healers, to be working - quickly - toward a solution.
As a Healer, it is impossible to not take action and look for durable solutions. Our Care for the Healer (CFTH) nonprofit is a 501(c)(3) organization built by Healers to stand as an advocate for ourselves, our colleagues, and our communities. We are serving the mission of planetary health by serving at the level of the individual and community. It is our belief that the defense and restoration of the wellbeing of Healers - offer scalable solutions by which a planetary state of health is achievable.
