What We Do
Our wellness services are comprised of a 3-pronged approach: Clinical Services, Support Services and Educational Training. Our Clinical Services offer individual, couples, and family counseling as well as coaching sessions and consultations. Support services are delivered through resident retreats, social gatherings, and resiliency rounds. Our Educational Services address burnout and substance abuse training to residents and faculty, and also provide well-being related workshops.
