Episode notes

Stephen Fry: For all of us, there are safe people in our lives. There is no expectation that we're supposed to manage and carry this all internally ourselves. He says disclosing what you're actually experiencing can be the first step of normalizing that we can reach out and get help. Fry: Dr. Paschau could pick up this next question because this conversation is kind of building on itself.

Our physicians and expert guests will discuss practical strategies, actionable steps and evidence-based resources on how to identify those physicians and patients at-risk for suicide and connect them with the most appropriate care.
