About #CrazySocks4Docs
Money raised from the #CrazySocks4Docs Breakfast will go to the CrazySocks4Docs Trust Foundation which is all about raising awareness of the mental health of all doctors around the world!
Dr Geoff Toogood will be in attendance at this years breakfast to announce details of a special project directly benefiting doctors’ mental health that has been initiated with funds raised from last year’s breakfast.
The Crazysocks4docs movement came out of the responses that the founder Dr Geoff Toogood experienced when he happened to wear odd coloured socks to work. The talk behind his back was that he was failing again. In reality he was well, and his socks (apart from the last two odd socks that he was wearing that day) had all been eaten by his new puppy. Rather than start a discussion about whether he was ok, there was whispering behind the scenes. As a result of this experience, Geoff established CrazySocks4Docs Day as an attempt to address the stigma around mental health in doctors, and to make it ok for a Doctor not to be ok.
CrazySocks4Docs Day is held every year on the first Friday of June. The aims of the day are all about normalising the conversation around mental health and creating a safe place to do it.
