Join us for a critical and heartfelt conversation with host Dr. Nicholas Biasotto, DO, and special guest Katie Godfrey, PhD, a licensed clinical psychologist and the Director of the Center for WorkLife Wellbeing at ChristianaCare as they delve into one of the most pressing issues in healthcare: physician suicide. In this episode, we confront the silent struggle that many physicians face—the stigma surrounding seeking help, compounded by a culture that often values resilience over vulnerability.
Discover eye-opening statistics, the hidden risk factors, and why feelings of isolation, the loss of connection, and even a loss of fear toward death are haunting realities for many in the medical profession. You'll also learn how legislation in Delaware is paving the way for change, removing barriers for physicians seeking mental health support, and making it safer for doctors to reach out for help.
This episode is a call to action for individuals and healthcare organizations alike to take steps to break down the stigma and foster an environment of openness and support.
Remember: you’re not alone. Help is always available. Tune in to find out how we can all be part of the solution. If you or someone you know is in distress, call or text the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988 for free, 24/7 support. Physicians and medical students can also reach out to the Physician Support Line at 1-888-409-0141 for confidential, peer-driven assistance.
