On National Physician Suicide Awareness Day and beyond, we can all make a difference in preventing physician suicide by contributing to a culture of wellbeing. 77% of physicians, 75% of residents, and 78% of medical students agree that there is stigma surrounding mental health. As a healthcare leader, how can you create a culture of wellbeing in your organization?
The Coalition is proud to take action to prevent physician and APP suicide by sharing resources to help improve wellbeing, including suicide prevention resources, tips for starting important conversations about mental health, a crisis management plan and more. Today, help us recognize #NPSADay by visiting www.NPSADay.org and learn how you can take action.
A BIT MORE ABOUT US
The Coalition for Physician Well-Being, established as a non-profit entity, is dedicated to fostering the well-being of the entire healthcare team. Formed in 2010, this initiative emerged from a collaborative effort among leaders representing various faith-based and mission-driven hospitals and healthcare systems. Their gathering was prompted by escalating worries regarding physician burnout. Recognizing the need for action, they resolved to pool their collective wisdom and expertise. This united approach was aimed at discovering the most impactful strategies to combat burnout and enhance the overall well-being of physicians and APPs across the country.
