This program is part of the IHI Virtual Learning Hour Caring for Caregivers Special Series, delivered in partnership with Well Being Trust.

This Virtual Learning Hour explores why care team members tend not to seek mental health support when needed and the potential for peer support to be an effective resource for care team health and well-being.

• Why peer support is an effective intervention in the pursuit of well-being and joy in work
• The characteristics of peer support
• How creating these connections aid in the destigmatization of health-seeking behaviors among caregivers
