You take care of people all the time. 
Who is taking care of you?

Too often, physicians avoid seeking emotional support when things get tough. Talking about personal struggles with friends, spouses or colleagues doesn’t always feel right.
 

The emotional stress and the pressure to always be “on” can take a toll.
 

As a licensed physician in Arizona, you have FREE and CONFIDENTIAL access to DOC2DOCAZ.  Simply fill out the FORM to be connected with a peer physician coach. Your coach can then help alleviate the pressure and avoid destructive behaviors such as substance abuse.
