Register for NAMI Webinar on Preventing Physician Suicide

Sep 2, 2021

Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2021, 6–7 p.m. ET

We’re excited to promote our upcoming Frontline Wellness webinar especially for physicians, NAMI Presents: Preventing Physician Suicide.

This is an opportunity for physicians to earn CMEs and gain information and supportive resources on suicide prevention for themselves and their colleagues. Our panel of experts will discuss methods for physicians to self-assess and will share effective options for self-care and support that protect privacy and offer hope.

They will offer solutions to help support colleagues, such as how to engage in peer-to-peer intercession with active listening, and how to make checking in on colleagues the norm, not an exception.

After the presentation, NAMI’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ken Duckworth will moderate a Q&A session.
