MIND matters
A reminder to all pharmacists, pharmacy assistants and other members of staff that the TELUS Health Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides confidential and professional counselling services, stated the Guild.
It's also available to immediate family members of registered Guild members and their pharmacy staff.
Help is available for a wide range of personal and work-related issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and relationship problems.
It's a timely reminder as we head into the festive season when it's all hands on deck at community pharmacies.
Pharmacy operations are ramping up, ensuring patients get their medications before the holiday hustle. And yes, the "silly season" does bring with it heightened expectations and stress.
So, while you're out there taking care of your patients, don't forget to take a moment for yourself.
After all, your wellbeing matters just as much.
