We Need Your Help

Our charity is almost entirely reliant on donations. We need your donations to be able to continue our vital work to protect the mental health of healthcare workers and prevent suicide.

One doctor dies by suicide every three weeks, one nurse dies by suicide every week.

These shocking statistics are a key driver of our work to help healthcare workers who are experiencing struggles with their mental health.

To support us, text PREVENT to 70460 to donate £5. You can also donate via our Just Giving website. Thank you for your support.

Why the need?

 

Nearly half of doctors who had responded to a June 2020 BMA survey reported suffering from depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, emotional distress or another mental health condition.

90% of nurse respondents felt higher rates of anxiety than before the pandemic according to a recent Nursing Times Survey.

The COVID pandemic will have a long lasting impact on the mental health of our medical professionals. A record number of people are considering leaving the profession as they do not have the support they need to do their job.

Our NHS workers deserve support. Please give generously and donate to Doctors in Distress to help us provide support groups for our NHS healthcare workers, giving them the confidential and safe environments that they need to look after their mental wellbeing.
