The Saanich Peninsula Physicians Society, South Island Division of Practice, South Island Medical Staff Association, and Victoria Division of Practice are working together to pilot a peer support program in our region.
Peer support involves confidential, short-term, emotional support conversations among colleagues who understand the unique stressors and challenges faced by physicians. Physician peer supporters have training and the ability to facilitate referrals to additional services if needed. Peer support is not therapy, clinical or career mentorship, or direct clinical care.
Please take a moment to answer these 4 brief questions to help us understand what our community of physicians needs. Your answers will be anonymous and will help us develop a program that meets your needs.
