Over 50% of those who die by suicide have had contact with a medical professional within months of killing themselves. We also know that doctors and nurses are at higher risk of suicide than the general population making our healthcare institutions ideal places for a more thoughtful system of prevention and intervention.

Takeaways:
- Signs of depression in patients and co-workers

- Medical factors and life events that increase risk of suicide
- How stigma in healthcare affects those who struggle
- Resources including a validated screening tool
“Anne Moss educates through her powerful personal story of loss that serves as a wake-up call to the audience. Despite the heavy subject matter of the topic, I do not find her presentation dark and dismal, but surprisingly inspiring and full of hope.”
—Ted Abernathy MD, Pediatrician

“I saw you speak this morning at the NIMH suicide conference, and it was one of the beautiful, raw speeches I have ever witnessed. Your story has inspired me to do everything I can as a doctor to screen for suicide/mental health concerns/ involve the whole family in my work. I thought your comment about connectedness, and the lack of it in our current age of social media and technological advances was brilliant. I am truly inspired by you.”
