Back in Fall 2019, the Resident Wellness Office launched a support group for residents currently on medical leave, where residents learn healthy coping skills through the evidence-based approach of mindful self-compassion. The launch of this program was met with success, including positive responses from participants:“This group has been very helpful to me because it made me feel like I am not alone in the struggle and that others are also feeling similar things as I am.”
“It was nice to see humanity in residents. Thank you so much for this group“.
The Resident Wellness Office will be running a new session of our Support Group for residents on medical leave starting January 12th 2021. The group will run Tuesdays January 12th, 19th, 26th, and February 6th from 12:30-2:30pm.
Questions and registration requests can be directed to Aileen, Resident Wellness Program Coordinator at: resident.wellness@ubc.ca
