What is Wellness?
Wellness is the practice of healthy habits on a daily basis to attain and sustain mental and physical health. In Residency, there are a variety of stressors both internal and external that can impact both mental and physical health. Residents are expected to balance educational, personal and patient care responsibilities. The Resident Wellness Office Wellness is committed to support residents through a variety of avenues during their residency journey. Whether you’re seeking support around stress and time management, looking to improve your communication at work or with loved ones, learning ways to manage moods (depression, anxiety, etc.), or dealing with a loss or life transition, here at the Resident Wellness Office (RWO), we’re here to listen.
We offer:
- Individuals and Couples Counselling (free and confidential)
