Healthcare can be the Healthiest Place to Work. Increasing Awareness of Physician Suicide and Improving Mental Health
May is Mental Health Month
We hope you will donate to Sharp Index to support our work in healthcare mental health. Sharp Index is funded by grassroots donors like you. We trust physicians and those in healthcare with our health, and healthcare should be the healthiest place to work. Sharp Index is a nonprofit with a mission to improve physician and clinician mental health. The Index is also a free tool to measure burnout, mental health, and what matters. We are dedicated to improving mental health for physicians and clinicians.
Have you discussed mental health with your physician?
Physicians have a higher risk of suicide. They are less likely to seek mental health treatment. They also care for our mental health. Have you had a conversation with your healthcare provider about mental health?
Everyone has a stake in the mental health of our healthcare workforce. We can all advocate for safe healthcare. Mental Health Awareness Month emphasizes the importance of starting a conversation. Shereese Maynard, MS, MBA She/Her , weighed in on the Sharp Index Blog.
