"Putting Self-Care in Healthcare"

Week 3 - Here's What You Might Have Missed...

National Physician Suicide Awareness Day was on Sunday, September 17. On Sunday, the ACMS acknowledged that we stand together as a proud Supporting Organization of #NPSADay, to help shed light on an important issue that affects the very heart of our healthcare community.

Throughout this entire month, the Allegheny County Medical Society has been committed to our campaign, 'Putting Self-care in Healthcare.' We are dedicated to raising awareness about physician suicide. Our aim is to prioritize reducing burnout, safeguarding job satisfaction, and promoting the idea that seeking mental health services is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Remember, you are not alone on this journey. If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, please reach out for help. Call or text 988 or visit 988lifeline.org to connect with a caring professional who can provide the support you need.
