Care 4 Caregivers Program
Care 4 Caregivers Now (C4CN) provided by California Medical Association (CMA) Wellness provides health care workers free and confidential peer coaching from trained medical practitioners who understand the rigors and emotional stresses of the profession – and who know the value of a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space.
Health care workers should consider peer coaching if they:
- struggle to find balance in their work and personal life
- are increasingly frustrated, angry and/or anxious
- worry about financial insecurity, social injustice, systemic racism and/or inequitable opportunity
- are feeling burned out or unable to sleep
- just want to talk to someone who understands
The program is available to physicians (M.D. and D.O.), physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, certified respiratory therapists, registered respiratory therapists, residents/ fellows, medical students, public health officers and medical reserve corps volunteers. The service is 100% complimentary and confidential – there is no mandated reporting requirement.
Participants report that their weekly 30-minute sessions have helped build more calmness, focus and control, as well as find clarity and empowerment to better plan for the future. Peer coaches can also help connect caregivers to additional resources to further aid their growth.
Receive support today, and please share the program with your staff and colleagues: https://cmawpca.org/
