We also receive calls from family, friends, colleagues & pharmacy staff who are concerned about a pharmacist.The volunteers who take the calls are all pharmacists & are trained in the crisis model of telephone counselling to support their colleagues. Training & support for the volunteers is provided by psychologists.Callers are able to remain anonymous to enhance confidentiality. The only time confidentiality would be broken is if a caller or another person is at risk of harm.The focus of the service is support, empowerment & information provision rather than advice. Volunteers are equipped with information & resources to assist with referring callers when necessary.In supporting pharmacists, PSS aims to benefit the public by ensuring that pharmacists maintain their health & well-being & so are able to provide an appropriate level of service to the Australian community.The type of issues leading pharmacists to seek support from PSS include (but are not limited to) crime related trauma, workplace & workload concerns, employment matters, substance abuse, mental health issues, suicide, ill-health, difficulties arising from professional & financial pressures, practice matters & ethical issues.
