Saturday, September 17, 2022 While physician suicide was a crisis long before COVID-19, the demands of the pandemic have created a sense of urgency to better support physicians’ mental health and well-being. 6 in 10 physicians have feelings of anger, tearfulness, or anxiety. About one-third feel hopeless. Nearly half of doctors say they’ve withdrawn from family, friends, and co-workers. These feelings may lead to depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder when left untreated. All of that can lead to suicidal thoughts for physicians. Doctors have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession. National Physician Suicide Awareness Day is a reminder and call to action. Every day we can make time to talk – and to act – so physicians’ struggles don’t become mental health emergencies. We can help prevent physician suicide by learning the signs, starting the conversations, understanding the underlying barriers, and sharing the resources to help those in distress seek mental health care. Physician Support Line is a national, free, and confidential support line service of 600+ volunteer psychiatrists to provide peer support for physician colleagues and American medical students. Call 1-888-409-0141 or visit www.physiciansupportline.com. The hotline is open 8:00 AM to 1:00 AM every day; no appointment is necessary. For an abundance of resources to share with colleagues or have for yourself, please visit www.npsaday.org for dedicated NPSA Day content and resources.  Break the Silence 5K Walk/Run

Cobb - Founder of My Grief Connection Tracy Oeser - Founder of Journey Thru Grief Do you feel overwhelming guilt about the suicide of your loved one because you should have done “this” and you could have done “that”? Do you keep thinking about why your loved one took their life? Or maybe you knew your loved one was struggling and you were still unable to save them? You are not alone, and you do not have to suffer in silence. If you have been longing to let go of your guilt after losing your loved one to suicide…then you should sign up for the Healing After Suicide Loss interview series. My friend Caro Brookings has brought together 20+ top experts, authors and support providers from the suicide grief and loss space for this free interview series on how to let go of your guilt, find peace and move forward one day at a time. When your loved one has died by suicide, you don’t have the time or the energy to scour the internet and find some of the fantastic resources that are out there available to you. Maybe you have tried some advice that you’ve heard somewhere and you felt a little better for a while, only to be back at square one the next day. So you sit there alone, feeling sad and anxious, and you wonder if you will ever feel happy again. Here’s what I believe: We don’t move on after suicide loss, but you can move forward if you work through your grief. Because time alone doesn’t heal all wounds - it’s important what you do with your time. You should know it is possible for you too to let go of your guilt and find peace. You just need to know the right steps to take. That’s why I am so grateful for the Healing After Suicide Loss interview series. It’s 5 days of tried and tested advice and encouragement from top experts from around the world to help YOU move forward with your life. It’s free, but you have to save your seat to get access.

Also known as Survivor Day, it was designated by the US Congress as a day on which those affected by suicide loss intentionally join together for a time support and healing. Survivor Day always lands on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, as the fall and winter holidays are often a challenging and emotion time for suicide loss survivors. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention supports hundreds Survivor Day events all over the world.
