What is the Wellness Support Line?

The Wellness Support Line offers counselling and access to mental health supports to physicians, medical learners and their immediate families. It is a 24/7 bilingual (French and English) service, delivered via Morneau Shepell. This support line is provided by the CMA and funded by Scotiabank and MD Financial Management. It was designed to complement existing resources available through physician health programs in provinces and territories across Canada.

Membership in the CMA or a PTMA is not required to use the service.

What are the hours of operation?

The Wellness Support Line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to eligible users. Individuals requiring support can obtain it by calling the service and scheduling an appointment with a counsellor.
