| Build Key Relationships with Legislators in September | |
During the month of September, TMA is asking physicians across Tennessee to get to know state lawmakers.

Learn more and register for this initiative by clicking here or on the image below.
Once you meet with a legislator, fill out this form online to help TMA track critical conversations.

| National Physician Suicide Awareness Day | |
National Physician Suicide Awareness Day (#NPSADay) is Thursday, September 17. We can all help prevent physician burnout and suicide by learning the signs, starting conversations, understanding underlying barriers, and sharing the resources that can help those in distress seek mental health care.
Burnout - In response to the growing concern of burnout among physicians, the Nashville Academy of Medicine and the Medical Foundation of Nashville launched PROSPER to provide educational resources and support and to encourage Middle Tennessee physicians to reach out before they are in crisis.
The Tennessee Professional Screening Questionnaire,
or TN-PSQ, is a free voluntary, confidential, completely anonymous mental health self-screening tool.
Vital Signs - Click here to learn the vital signs if you or someone you know is struggling.
Crisis - Tennessee Crisis Hotline - 1-855-274-7471
