Doctor's Support Network

The Doctor's Support Network (DSN) is a warm, friendly self-help group for doctors with mental health problems. The group started about 4 years ago with one doctor's awareness of the isolation that can be felt when a doctor is ill, especially with mental health problems. The group believes that contact with and support from other doctors can help recovery and that appropriate support offered before a crisis develops helps defuse the situation.

The group is not group therapy, nor does it have other therapeutic aims, rather it seeks to reduce the isolation and stigma of mental health problems. There are London and Scottish branches of the DSN. The London branch meets once a month and there is a monthly newsletter sent to all members.

The group is hoping to start having occasional meetings in the Bristol area. Those interested should contact the DSN; tel: 07071 223 372; e-mail:janetp{at}uk.packardbell.org

(Dr Janet Prentice).
