What type of impairment does the well-being committee of the board address?

The well-being committee of the board addresses any type of impairment, which encompasses a broad range of issues that can affect an individual’s ability to practice competently and ethically. This includes not only drug and alcohol abuse but also mental health issues and other conditions that might impair professional functioning.

The committee's comprehensive approach allows it to provide support and resources for individuals facing various challenges, recognizing that impairment can manifest in many forms. By focusing on any type of impairment, the committee ensures it can assist those who may be struggling with both temporary and ongoing issues, thereby promoting overall well-being and safeguarding the integrity of the profession. This holistic perspective is crucial in fostering an environment where professionals feel supported in seeking help without fear of stigma.
