Supporting the designation of September 17, 2023, as "National Physician Suicide Awareness Day" to raise awareness of, and promote a national discussion about, physician suicide and to reduce the stigma of mental health issues.
This symbolic resolution designates September 17, 2023, as "National Physician Suicide Awareness Day" to raise public awareness about high suicide rates among physicians and reduce mental health stigma. It urges the House to support national discussions on physician mental health, honor those lost to suicide, and encourage research into barriers preventing help-seeking behavior. The resolution does not create new laws, allocate funding, or impose obligations - it is a non-binding call for awareness and education.
