World Mental Health Day: There is Help for You, Too

Posted By Columbus Medical Association - CMA, Friday, October 10, 2025

October 10 is designated as World Mental Health Day, an international day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy against social stigma. Physicians dedicate their careers to helping improve the lives of others, often sacrificing their own mental health. 

With the healthcare workforce dwindling and the rates of physician burnout and attrition increasing, physicians must care for their mental, emotional, and physical health. Peer Support Programs, like the CMA’s Doc to Doc program, are proven to reduce burnout and improve overall physician well-being. 

With Doc to Doc, you have access to a network of professionally trained physicians who provide confidential support. These doctors have walked in your shoes and are here to help. 

On this World Mental Health Day, it may be time for you to finally put yourself first. To get started, you can complete this brief form or call (614) 385-6660.

Doc to Doc: Support for Physicians by Physicians

Posted By Columbus Medical Association - CMA, Friday, May 30, 2025

With so much going on in the health care industry today, it has never been more important for physicians to care for their mental, emotional, and physical health. As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to an end, we want to remind our members of a confidential, physician-centric resource available to them.

In the article from our partners at the Ohio Professionals Health Program (OhioPHP), “Substance Use Disorders in Healthcare: Why It Happens and How to Seek Help,” they remind us that healthcare professionals under immense pressure and suffer from stress and burnout at the same rate as the general population. 

Peer support programs are a great resource for physicians to meet with others who truly understand their experiences and are fully committed to helping them recover. The CMA’s Doc to Doc program, made possible by funding from the CMA Foundation, provides access to an empathetic network of physician peers who have been trained to support their colleagues in need. The program is 100% confidential and no record of the conversations are ever made.

Learn more about the Doc to Doc program on our webpage. To get started complete this form or call 614-385-6660.
