Peer support

Facilitating peer support and strong connections within your team is an effective way to mitigate adverse mental health outcomes.

Ensure structures are in place for colleagues to provide social support to one another — such as having the opportunity to take regular breaks or developing structured peer support groups/programs.

Additionally, leaders can encourage a supportive mental health culture to reduce fear of stigmatization and increase the likelihood of providers seeking support. Holding daily huddles to create a sense of belonging and building a sense of community through inclusion can be important steps to developing trust and safety within the team.
