Dear AKMG Members,

We are excited to introduce "മനഃശാന്തി (Manasanthi)," an initiative under the Mentorship Committee envisioned by Dr. Raji Menon, a past President of AKMG, surgeon in Canada, and certified Professional Life Coach. This program promotes mental well-being and resilience among our members.

 

Why മനഃശാന്തി?

Physicians in all stages of their career, face immense stress managing responsibilities, expectations, and personal goals, leading to burnout and mental health challenges. Manasanthi offers tools, individual and group coaching, and access to mental health professionals to help members navigate these challenges effectively.

 

How You Can Participate?

We invite coaches, counsellors, psychiatrists, and mental health professionals to volunteer their expertise. Group coaching sessions will be held regularly, with options for private counselling or psychiatric support as needed. Interested members who wish to participate as part of this project, please respond to this email with a short bio, and let us know before the launch date so we can include you as part of the cohort of coaches in the panel.

All AKMG members are strongly encouraged to attend and gain a comprehensive understanding of the project's details.
