Virginia Legislature
Virginia leads the nation in protecting physician well-being through legislation. In Virginia, providers enrolled in SafeHaven are exempt from mandatory reporting to the Board of Medicine unless there is a danger to themselves or patients, and all communication between the provider and counselor is considered privileged. The Code of Virginia (§ 8.01-581.16 – 581.17) explicitly shields healthcare professionals who participate in peer support programs like SafeHaven Health from mandatory reporting, offering a clear legal foundation for confidential mental health access.
As a result of close collaboration with the Medical Society of Virginia (MSV), SafeHaven serves as the primary conduit for physicians, residents, and PAs in Virginia seeking confidential support. This partnership allows SafeHaven to operate with legal backing and provide a trusted alternative to disciplinary intervention.
SafeHaven and MSV continue to advocate for policy improvements, raising awareness among lawmakers and hospital systems about the importance of burnout prevention, peer support, and mental health confidentiality as pillars of public health.
