I was a doctor. Then burnout & mental illness happened. Thankfully, I survived. Too many fellow health professionals have died by suicide. Let today be #TimeToReflect. It's #NationalSuicideMemorialDay for health & care workers. Let's spread our thoughts with a sea of 🌳.

This was my moment to pause & remember friends & colleagues I've lost to suicide. It was also a moment to reflect on how far I have come, How treatment & support can change everything, And how life is definitely worth living. #TimeToReflect #NationalSuicideMemorialDay

Helen Bevan Anna Rebowska Absolutely agree. It was Dora Raymaker who introduced me to this concept & the work of Donella Meadows. It made me realise how & why we’ve had such an impact in Autistic Doctors International - we are operating at the level of changing paradigms
