Mutual Peer Support (English):

As a psychiatrist who treats physician colleagues, Dr. Mamta Gautam has been hosting a free daily Zoom call to offer mutual peer support to colleagues (on a drop in basis) as we deal with COVID19.

  • This is not therapy or psychiatric care, just peer support.

  • It will not be recorded in any way.

  • While one cannot guarantee confidentiality, Dr. Gautam does her best to ensure privacy.

While these calls are no longer occurring daily on a regular basis, please feel free to contact Dr. Gautam at mgautam@rogers.com if you have any questions or concerns as she remains committed to being available for colleagues.

Emotional Care for Healthcare Professionals (Spanish):

A national network of psychologists in Mexico is offering online emotional care for health personnel during COVID19. Follow #AtencionEmocionalPersonaldeSalud #LatiendoPorMexico on Twitter for updates.
