Peer support for health care professionals
When your job is caring for others, it’s easy to forget about yourself.
Peer support is an opportunity to connect one-on-one with someone who’s been in your shoes. It’s confidential and judgement-free. It’s not therapy. Just a real conversation with someone who gets it.
