Drop-in and share: COVID-19 Physician Peer Support Sessions
During this challenging time, physicians are working hard to care for patients, their families and communities.
The burden of this responsibility is taking its toll, with increased stress, anxiety, and risk of burnout.
Talking to other physicians can help.
The BC Physician Health Program (PHP) offers free drop-in COVID-19 Physician Peer Support Sessions via Zoom.
Join your colleagues, Psychiatrist Dr Jennifer Russel, and PHP’s Roxanne Joyce, to talk about the issues and challenges you’re facing. Sessions will focus on peer support not psychiatric care.
When: Wednesdays 12-1 PST
How: Email for the link. Join by phone or video.
