​I.M. Emotional Support Hub​

With everything internal medicine physicians have to do on a daily basis, it’s common to feel overwhelmed, stressed, or depressed.​​ Taking care of ourselves and encouraging others to practice self-care sustains our ability to care for those in need. ​​​​

Protect your health and well-being by connecting with easily-accessible peer support through the Physician Support Line, and affordable, confidential counseling is available through The Emotional PPE Project and The Therapy Aid Coalition. ​

If you or someone you know is in crisis, help is available 24/7. Text 741741 or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988 or 1-800-273-8255) or Disaster Distress Hotline (1-800-985-5990).
