We recognize that physicians can face many challenges in their personal and professional lives, and we strive to provide tailored support informed by your needs to help you navigate them.

The Physician Health Program (PHP) offers a range of virtual support groups designed to enhance physician well-being through education, new skill development, and sharing experiences in a safe environment with peers. This spring, connect with your fellow colleagues in a virtual setting and access tools, resources, and insights to help you, both at work and at home.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Skills Group for Physicians and Medical Residents 

PHP and Mind Space Skills for Wellbeing offer a CBT Skills Group for BC physicians and medical residents with mild to moderate mental health diagnoses. Participants will learn to manage anxiety, depression, and stress through CBT techniques, emotional regulation, mindfulness, and acceptance-based approaches. This group requires a diagnosis and completed referral form from your family physician or nurse practitioner.

The next session of this group will run on Tuesdays from April 14–June 2, from 5:15–7:00 p.m. Fill out the interest form for the CBT Skills Group.
