Dear Psychiatry Resident,

As you embark on the challenging yet rewarding journey of your intern year, I want to extend a special invitation to join a community designed to uplift and support you—an affinity group specifically for first-year psychiatry residents.

Our journey in medicine is unique, filled with moments of triumph and challenges. It’s a path where the strength of our shared experiences and the support of those who intimately understand these experiences can make all the difference. That’s why we’ve created a space where you can find mentorship, professional development, and a network of peers who truly get it.

We value your privacy and your right to choose the communities you want to be part of. Participation is completely voluntary, but we believe the support and connections you’ll find here can be transformative.

How Can You Become a Part of This?

Direct Engagement: If you’re interested in joining or learning more about our group, we welcome you to reach out directly. We’re here to answer any questions and provide you with all the information you need.

Spread the Word: Even if this group may not be for you at this time, perhaps you know a fellow resident who could benefit from this kind of support. We appreciate your help in sharing this invitation.

Your first year is foundational, and you deserve every resource available to ensure it’s as enriching and empowering as possible. We’re here to help you achieve that.

Thank you for considering this invitation. I’m eager to hear from you, learn about your journey, and hopefully, welcome you into our circle.

Best Wishes,
