Mental Health Resources

The College understands the importance of the health and well-being of its registrants. Health care providers are not immune to the difficulties of life, particularly during stressful times such as those most recently with the challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Health care professionals who proactively address their mental health are better able to optimally care for patients and sustain their resilience in the face of mental health concerns such as burnout, depression, stress, and suicide risk.

Below is a listing of crisis resources for immediate support in preventing suicide and enhancing the mental health of healthcare professionals; as well as resources for support after a suicide loss for individuals and communities.
