About this listen

 Each year about 400 physicians die by suicide. Work-related stressors and mental health problems are two well-known factors for suicide among health care workers. To help address the pressure doctors, nurses and other allied health professionals face every day, the T. Leroy Jefferson Medical Society is hosting a podcast called Helping the Helpers. No healthcare professional should suffer alone when there are resources available. Better wellness for our health professionals means better outcomes for us all.Copyright 2023 T Leroy Jefferson Medical Society Hygiene & Healthy Living Physical Illness & Disease Psychology Psychology & Mental Health
