  • Summary

  • In a field where helping others is one’s daily routine, the irony is that so many healthcare providers don't seek help themselves when they need it. May is Mental Health Awareness Month; and in this episode, we're attempting to remove the stigma around discussing one's mental health, because in the healthcare industry, the need is seemingly greater than in others. The statistics are shocking: Healthcare providers rank at No. 11 on the Center for Disease Control’s list of the top 30 occupations likely to die by suicide. Another 2019 CDC study shows veterinarians are between two and four times more likely to die by suicide than the general population. Our guest in this episode is Laura Magnuson, the vice president of clinical engagement and a licensed associate marriage and family therapist at Talkspace. As a Mental Health First Aid instructor, she is passionate about mental health education and how that translates into an effective and healthy workspace. Together, we'll discuss: How stress can manifest in your physical health How to break the stigma surrounding discussions of mental health What simple strategies can help you cope with stress on a daily basis How practice owners can facilitate a healthy practice What to do if you or someone you know is in crisis What crisis and non-crisis services are available by dialing 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline
