It’s time to search in the dark corners of your clothing drawers and pull out the boldest, brightest and mismatched socks you can find – It is CrazySocks4Docs Day.
Held on the first Friday of June, this foundation started with one vision in sight and that is to break down the stigma around mental health issues in doctors and health professionals. Just like any other person or profession, doctors and health professionals also suffer the full range of mental health issues – anxiety, depression, burnout, fear, anger and more. In the shadow of the current pandemic, this topic definitely should come to light. The stress felt by the health system is a burden shared with our health professionals.
To raise awareness you can either buy some Breakthrough Foundation Crazy Socks to wear on Friday, 4th of June, or you can wear your own pair of crazy socks and share it via social media. Just by getting the discussion going on doctor wellbeing, we remind them that they are not alone.
