Peer to Peer Support

About the Training

A career in emergency medicine is mentally and physically demanding. Shiftwork, chronic stress, cumulative trauma, lawsuits, adverse outcomes, medical errors, and life responsibilities all contribute to significant emotional strain. However, physicians often hesitate to seek professional support due to concerns about confidentiality, negative career impact, and difficulty finding therapists who understand their unique experiences.

While professional mental health support remains essential, peer support is a powerful, effective strategy that helps break down barriers to seeking help. Emergency physician peers understand the job’s challenges firsthand and, with proper training, can provide confidential, judgment-free support that helps colleagues better manage and prevent the escalation of symptoms.
