For a whole raft of new resources to take preventative action, talk about suicide risks in healthcare workers and promote Physician Suicide Awareness Day

In the heat of the 4th wave of COVID-19, prevention of physician suicide has never been more important. Doctors, nurses, first responders and all front-line caregivers are at increased risk of suicide, a risk that will persist long after COVID is gone

Help us raise physician suicide awareness - download and share one of these new resources.
