A charity committed to eradicating stigma, change behaviours & cultures and promote the value of good leadership to reduce suicide rates of medical doctors.
our corporate objectives
This has been the attitude in medicine for far too long.
Doctors have the same physiology as patients.
Human factors and human compassion are not luxuries for people who care for others.
This must end and end soon.

When I was a 3rd year med student in 1994, on day 1 of the surgery clerkship the senior resident told us if any student *dared* to call in sick, we’d better be prepared to read her our ventilator settings.🙄So we all came in even if ill. In 2020, the vent is a real possibility!😢
Thank you @drfalvey !

Share this message & help create a critical mass
Regardless of the intent associated with self-harm or suicidal behaviour, it is critical that each person, no matter what the motivational elements associated with self-harm or attempted suicide, is comforted, validated and supported with care and compassion.
