Receive Support

It's 100% free, confidential, and does not involve any medical or psychiatric treatment. Peer support facilitators all have training in peer support or mental health. You can choose from 1-on-1 peer support, or to join a peer support group with others from a similar field/level of training.

 

Support is available for anyone in the healthcare sector, including:

  • Doctors

  • Nurses

  • Allied health

  • Paramedics

  • Healthcare students

  • Non-clinical health staff

(I signed up) for collegial support. I'm in a group with two other registrars and an SHO, and we meet on zoom. We can share our work stresses, conflicts, anxieties, frustrations, and victories and reflect together and support each other. It's a refreshing space to be honest with colleagues that we don't work directly with.
