Dr. Michael Myers, not only saves lives due to suicide prevention, but also heals families that have lost doctors to suicide. He feels honored and humbled to sit with grieving families, who feel that their loved ones have taken the answers with them. Dr. Myers is also working to change the stigma that is associated with physicians asking for assistance, as they may be concerned about being judged and potentially impacting their medical licences. He speaks worldwide about physician health and physician suicide. He is the author of numerous books on this subject. Dr. Myers shares these powerful nuggets of life wisdom: - listen to others carefully in your everyday journeys - smile to strangers - show up - be present - talk less, listen more - be kind - be sensitive with your language to others and even yourself - for example, some individuals are more comfortable with the term "condition" than illness or disorder - let's try to show respect for individuals who are suffering or have suffered, as they have the determination and fortitude to get better Dr. Myers is Professor of Clinical Psychiatry and immediate past Vice-Chair of Education and Director of Training in the Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at SUNY-Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY.
