The Peer Support Program is a free service available to all Nemours associates, residents and fellows. ALL referrals and services are kept confidential.
When associates should call
In response to stressors at work or home such as:
- Exhaustion/burn-out
- Feeling distressed following a traumatic patient event
- Personal stressors such as relationship or financial concerns
Everyone can use some extra support sometimes, especially during stressful times like those we are currently experiencing. There is no shame in asking for support — and it is not a sign of weakness.

Support is provided days, nights and weekends based upon your preference.
