Summary
This study tests whether a group-based stress management course called Self-Help Plus (SH+) can help medical students and resident physicians cope with stress and improve their mental health. Participants attend a structured course that teaches skills like grounding, stepping back from distressing thoughts, and self-compassion. The goal is to see if this low-cost, scalable program reduces symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, and improves well-being.
