(CCSI), a crisis center that answers calls to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, went up 500 percent. Across the country, counselors scrambled to field the spike in calls. Tim Jansen, the center’s executive director, brought in extra staff and answered calls himself. It wasn’t enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the half hour it took Jansen to drive home, he heard the Lifeline number announced seven times on the radio.

Just this year, three centers shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remaining centers do what they can to stay functioning. This often means taking on extra contracts, like running local crisis lines, to support their suicide prevention work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crisis Call Center, a Lifeline backup center in Nevada, operates a sexual assault support service program and a substance abuse hotline. They also provide child protective service reports and take elder protective service reports after hours. Rachelle Pellissier, its executive director, says they have to “cobble together” these different funding streams to offset the costs of the suicide prevention calls they take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really need about $1.1 million to run this organization,” said Pellissier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Centers like Provident in Missouri rely on their local United Way. The money they receive from the Lifeline, even as a backup center with more support, “pays for maybe two salaries of my 15 person team,” said Jane Smith, the director of life crisis services for Provident. “We’re a money-losing entity at Provident.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If backup centers are unable to take a call, that call is routed from one backup center to the next, until a counselor can talk. “All the calls can be answered. The only question is, how long do people wait?” Draper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1928760\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-1928760\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/08/20180802_161929-1-1200x949-800x633.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"633\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Office supplies sit in an empty room, which will soon become additional space for counselors, at Community Crisis Services, Inc. in Hyattsville, Maryland.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For January to March of 2018, the average wait time for a caller after the Lifeline’s automated greeting was 36 seconds at a local center and 88 seconds at a backup center. “It’s simply a supply and demand challenge,” Draper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Distance, Low Pay, and Pressure\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Answering calls from all across the nation at backup centers can create barriers to getting help. With no local centers serving Minnesota, for example, all callers in the state are routed to an out-of-state backup center. It’s a solution that both increases the call volume pressure on backup centers and makes it difficult for centers to connect callers to resources in their area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At CCSI, a counselor asks, “Do you have any community centers in your area or anything like that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an emergency, it’s often more difficult to initiate an “active rescue” for someone who may be at imminent risk of attempted suicide because of the lack of an established relationship between the center and the out-of-state law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, counselors get this response from police: “‘Well, if they’re going to do it they’re going to need to do it. We’ll hear about it on the news,’” said Jansen. He says those responses typically occur a couple of times a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stress of the job and the pay can drive high turnover rates for counselors in some centers. Even taking a day off can make answering calls more difficult for other staff. Counselors often “feel concerned for their fellow staff members” when they’re out of the office because “they know the impact that them not being there is going to cause,” said Victoria Graham, chief program officer at Action in Community Through Service in Dumfries, Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gene Dobrzynski, the assistant call center director at CCC, sees a direct link between lack of funding and staff turnover. He says with more funding, the center could hire more staff and counselors’ mentality of “I gotta be at my desk because there’s going to be another call coming in” could be eased. “They could get a little bit of relief and be able to walk away,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low pay for counselors is also a function of funding woes. “Let’s be serious, we’re paying frontline staff $11-12 an hour to do this crisis intervention, this life-and-death work,” said Pellissier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In Arizona, Adjusting to Increased Calls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all Lifeline centers feel the same strain: Crisis Response Network in Arizona, for example, receives Medicaid funding and other social service funding from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like other centers, they’ve also seen an increase in calls. In June of 2017, Crisis Response Network and La Frontera Empact, another Arizona-based crisis center, fielded around 2,800 Lifeline calls. This past June, it was more than 4,400 calls. Unlike many other centers, they were able to increase their staffing to adjust to the increase in calls. At the busiest part of its day, Crisis Response Network might have 30 people on the phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crisis Response Network also has “compassion rooms” where staff can go “to decompress after a tough call,” said Alex Zavala, its chief experience officer. Ocean noises play in the background and staff are encouraged to take a break or meditate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference between Crisis Response Network and Crisis Call Center is stark. At Crisis Call Center, they can’t afford to replace the constantly-used chairs in their office when they wear down or clean their bathrooms as much as they’d like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The numbers reveal Crisis Response Network’s success. Based on numbers collected from June 2017 to June 2018, less than 1 percent of callers hang up or lose their call before a counselor answers them. The center attributes this to its “consistent and stable” funding that allows for effective staffing with changing call volume, said Sarah Schol, the senior director of contact center operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1928759\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-1928759\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/08/IMG_9315-1-1200x800-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An award sits on a display case at Community Crisis Services, Inc. in Hyattsville, Maryland.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Seeking to solve unknowns in suicide prevention\u003cbr>\nThe circumstances of each call center are wide-ranging, and so are reactions to the National Suicide Hotline Improvement Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leadership of several centers told the NewsHour Weekend that a 3-digit number for the Lifeline would probably allow people to more easily access the help that they need. But the accessibility is a double-edged sword for centers like Crisis Call Center–they want more callers to have access to the Lifeline, but “do not have enough capacity to take the increase in calls,” said Pellissier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Draper says “it’s a fair presumption that [a 3-digit number] would increase calls, we just don’t know by how much.” But not everyone agrees that a 3-digit number would mean a greater volume of calls. Graham says that she couldn’t predict that, while Crisis Response Network believes an increase in call volume is possible, it doesn’t see a change to a 3-digit number impacting their day-to-day operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s lead House sponsor, Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT), told the NewsHour Weekend that the legislation seeks to “increase awareness of resources and save lives,” and co-sponsor Rep.

Joe Donnelly (D-IN), who co-sponsored the bill in the Senate, believes the legislation will examine if there’s a “simpler way” to “help in moments of crisis,” according to his office. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) did not respond to request for comment via email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Madigan, the Senior Vice President of Public Policy for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, said he hopes the bill’s study will answer “the million dollar question” of the current suicide prevention network’s reach and “holes” in the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1928758\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-1928758\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/08/IMG_9376-1-1200x765-800x510.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"510\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tim Jansen sits at his desk at Community Crisis Services, Inc. in Hyattsville, Maryland.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, local crisis centers will continue to draw people who feel called to act and those who need to call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jansen entered the world of suicide prevention when he was 25 years old, after coming out as gay.

They also provide child protective service reports and take elder protective service reports after hours. Rachelle Pellissier, its executive director, says they have to “cobble together” these different funding streams to offset the costs of the suicide prevention calls they take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We really need about $1.1 million to run this organization,” said Pellissier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Centers like Provident in Missouri rely on their local United Way. The money they receive from the Lifeline, even as a backup center with more support, “pays for maybe two salaries of my 15 person team,” said Jane Smith, the director of life crisis services for Provident. “We’re a money-losing entity at Provident.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If backup centers are unable to take a call, that call is routed from one backup center to the next, until a counselor can talk. “All the calls can be answered. The only question is, how long do people wait?” Draper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1928760\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-1928760\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/08/20180802_161929-1-1200x949-800x633.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"633\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Office supplies sit in an empty room, which will soon become additional space for counselors, at Community Crisis Services, Inc. in Hyattsville, Maryland.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For January to March of 2018, the average wait time for a caller after the Lifeline’s automated greeting was 36 seconds at a local center and 88 seconds at a backup center. “It’s simply a supply and demand challenge,” Draper said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Distance, Low Pay, and Pressure\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Answering calls from all across the nation at backup centers can create barriers to getting help. With no local centers serving Minnesota, for example, all callers in the state are routed to an out-of-state backup center. It’s a solution that both increases the call volume pressure on backup centers and makes it difficult for centers to connect callers to resources in their area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At CCSI, a counselor asks, “Do you have any community centers in your area or anything like that?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an emergency, it’s often more difficult to initiate an “active rescue” for someone who may be at imminent risk of attempted suicide because of the lack of an established relationship between the center and the out-of-state law enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, counselors get this response from police: “‘Well, if they’re going to do it they’re going to need to do it. We’ll hear about it on the news,’” said Jansen. He says those responses typically occur a couple of times a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stress of the job and the pay can drive high turnover rates for counselors in some centers. Even taking a day off can make answering calls more difficult for other staff. Counselors often “feel concerned for their fellow staff members” when they’re out of the office because “they know the impact that them not being there is going to cause,” said Victoria Graham, chief program officer at Action in Community Through Service in Dumfries, Virginia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gene Dobrzynski, the assistant call center director at CCC, sees a direct link between lack of funding and staff turnover. He says with more funding, the center could hire more staff and counselors’ mentality of “I gotta be at my desk because there’s going to be another call coming in” could be eased. “They could get a little bit of relief and be able to walk away,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low pay for counselors is also a function of funding woes. “Let’s be serious, we’re paying frontline staff $11-12 an hour to do this crisis intervention, this life-and-death work,” said Pellissier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In Arizona, Adjusting to Increased Calls\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not all Lifeline centers feel the same strain: Crisis Response Network in Arizona, for example, receives Medicaid funding and other social service funding from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like other centers, they’ve also seen an increase in calls. In June of 2017, Crisis Response Network and La Frontera Empact, another Arizona-based crisis center, fielded around 2,800 Lifeline calls. This past June, it was more than 4,400 calls. Unlike many other centers, they were able to increase their staffing to adjust to the increase in calls. At the busiest part of its day, Crisis Response Network might have 30 people on the phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crisis Response Network also has “compassion rooms” where staff can go “to decompress after a tough call,” said Alex Zavala, its chief experience officer. Ocean noises play in the background and staff are encouraged to take a break or meditate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference between Crisis Response Network and Crisis Call Center is stark. At Crisis Call Center, they can’t afford to replace the constantly-used chairs in their office when they wear down or clean their bathrooms as much as they’d like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The numbers reveal Crisis Response Network’s success. Based on numbers collected from June 2017 to June 2018, less than 1 percent of callers hang up or lose their call before a counselor answers them. The center attributes this to its “consistent and stable” funding that allows for effective staffing with changing call volume, said Sarah Schol, the senior director of contact center operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1928759\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-1928759\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/08/IMG_9315-1-1200x800-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">An award sits on a display case at Community Crisis Services, Inc. in Hyattsville, Maryland.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Seeking to solve unknowns in suicide prevention\u003cbr>\nThe circumstances of each call center are wide-ranging, and so are reactions to the National Suicide Hotline Improvement Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The leadership of several centers told the NewsHour Weekend that a 3-digit number for the Lifeline would probably allow people to more easily access the help that they need. But the accessibility is a double-edged sword for centers like Crisis Call Center–they want more callers to have access to the Lifeline, but “do not have enough capacity to take the increase in calls,” said Pellissier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Draper says “it’s a fair presumption that [a 3-digit number] would increase calls, we just don’t know by how much.” But not everyone agrees that a 3-digit number would mean a greater volume of calls. Graham says that she couldn’t predict that, while Crisis Response Network believes an increase in call volume is possible, it doesn’t see a change to a 3-digit number impacting their day-to-day operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill’s lead House sponsor, Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT), told the NewsHour Weekend that the legislation seeks to “increase awareness of resources and save lives,” and co-sponsor Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX) added that “ease” in access is critical. Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN), who co-sponsored the bill in the Senate, believes the legislation will examine if there’s a “simpler way” to “help in moments of crisis,” according to his office. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) did not respond to request for comment via email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Madigan, the Senior Vice President of Public Policy for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, said he hopes the bill’s study will answer “the million dollar question” of the current suicide prevention network’s reach and “holes” in the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_1928758\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-1928758\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2018/08/IMG_9376-1-1200x765-800x510.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"510\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tim Jansen sits at his desk at Community Crisis Services, Inc. in Hyattsville, Maryland.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, local crisis centers will continue to draw people who feel called to act and those who need to call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jansen entered the world of suicide prevention when he was 25 years old, after coming out as gay.

Anytime we want to resolve something that involves firearms, we've need to talk about firearms explicitly,\" he says. \"The conversation about firearms and suicide doesn't have to be a debate about the Second Amendment. It could be a debate about where can we find some common ground that doesn't simply involve only talking about people with mental illnesses, because as this paper shows, that's not going to get the job done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research shows that the decision to attempt suicide is often made quickly, in an impulsive way, says \u003ca href=\"https://afsp.org/about-afsp/robert-gebbia/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Gebbia\u003c/a>, the head of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You may be thinking about it over time, but that moment when you actually make an attempt is a very short window,\" he explains. \"If you could make it harder to make that attempt by not having access to the means, often what happens is the feelings will pass, it gives people time for someone to intervene and get them help, so that is a really important preventative step that can be done. And there's good research to support that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suicide researchers already know a lot of the information in this new report, says Gebbia, \"but the public doesn't. And so a report like this really draws attention to the fact that we need to do a whole lot more to prevent suicide, to save lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He points out, for example, that the nation currently has no federally funded suicide prevention program for adults. \"There are some for youth, but they're very, very tiny,\" says Gebbia. \"We can't expect a major public health problem like this to be addressed unless we see the investment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC said that people can learn about warning signs of suicide to help people at risk.

It has to be paired with measures that would make suicidal people less likely to die even if they never went to see a doctor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC report cites several different approaches that could work, such as working to stabilize housing and teaching coping and problem-solving skills early in life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also cites the need to reduce \"access to lethal means,\" but without explicitly mentioning firearms or controversial issues such as gun control legislation. Asked if that was a deliberate omission, because of the political climate surrounding gun control, Stone said that suicide rates have been increasing across all methods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So it's not just about firearms, it's also about other methods of suicide such as hanging, suffocation, poisoning and the like,\" she said. \"We are concerned with all aspects of suicide prevention, including access to lethal means, and so we do include that in a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Anestis believes that it's important to not beat around the bush when it comes to guns, and to talk about the importance of things like waiting periods for purchase, and storing guns locked and unloaded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"American suicide is predominantly a firearm issue. Anytime we want to resolve something that involves firearms, we've need to talk about firearms explicitly,\" he says. \"The conversation about firearms and suicide doesn't have to be a debate about the Second Amendment. It could be a debate about where can we find some common ground that doesn't simply involve only talking about people with mental illnesses, because as this paper shows, that's not going to get the job done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Research shows that the decision to attempt suicide is often made quickly, in an impulsive way, says \u003ca href=\"https://afsp.org/about-afsp/robert-gebbia/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Robert Gebbia\u003c/a>, the head of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You may be thinking about it over time, but that moment when you actually make an attempt is a very short window,\" he explains. \"If you could make it harder to make that attempt by not having access to the means, often what happens is the feelings will pass, it gives people time for someone to intervene and get them help, so that is a really important preventative step that can be done. And there's good research to support that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suicide researchers already know a lot of the information in this new report, says Gebbia, \"but the public doesn't. And so a report like this really draws attention to the fact that we need to do a whole lot more to prevent suicide, to save lives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He points out, for example, that the nation currently has no federally funded suicide prevention program for adults. \"There are some for youth, but they're very, very tiny,\" says Gebbia. \"We can't expect a major public health problem like this to be addressed unless we see the investment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC said that people can learn about warning signs of suicide to help people at risk.

Those individuals are contacted and offered counseling and other resources so they don't have to suffer in silence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Keck School of Medicine, administrators started to address student mental health even before Petro's death. That's partly because in 2014, the same year national attention focused on the resident suicides in New York, another medical student who was enrolled at USC disappeared and was never found.

A big first step in that direction, she says, is the need to change the culture of shame and stigma around burnout, depression and suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USC has hired a director of medical student wellness, instituted mandatory \"Keck Check\" mental health\u003cem> \u003c/em>evaluation sessions and now requires students to take several mental-health days off every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Slow Going'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, Elliott says, \"I don’t know that we recognized the need.

It was slow going.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moutier points to the irony that those attending to people’s health are facing their own health crisis. “It’s such a disconnect that health professionals don’t take this seriously,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She calls the problem a public health crisis–not just for the medical providers, but for their patients as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a major problem,” Moutier says. “I mean, if you’re looking at the fact that almost a \u003ca href=\"http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2467822\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quarter of interns\u003c/a> are thinking of suicide, what kind of care are they giving patients?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A national movement is now afoot to address the issue.

Stanford School of Medicine has a similar program to identify and help those who might be struggling with stress and burnout. One residency program at Stanford also offers stress-reduction perks like free delivery of groceries to residents' homes and time to exercise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of these efforts are a good start, but just a start, says Sidney Zisook, director of the psychiatry residency program at UC San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been a code of silence throughout the years.

Residents fill out an online confidential survey to help identify those who are dealing with high levels of stress. Those individuals are contacted and offered counseling and other resources so they don't have to suffer in silence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Keck School of Medicine, administrators started to address student mental health even before Petro's death. That's partly because in 2014, the same year national attention focused on the resident suicides in New York, another medical student who was enrolled at USC disappeared and was never found. That same year, a faculty physician took his own life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donna Elliott, the senior associate dean of student affairs at USC, says those local and national incidents were a loud wake-up call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There's a strong need in medical schools now in supporting students’ mental health,\" Elliott says. A big first step in that direction, she says, is the need to change the culture of shame and stigma around burnout, depression and suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USC has hired a director of medical student wellness, instituted mandatory \"Keck Check\" mental health\u003cem> \u003c/em>evaluation sessions and now requires students to take several mental-health days off every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Slow Going'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, Elliott says, \"I don’t know that we recognized the need. I think medicine traditionally has been a profession that says, ‘You just do it.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed the stigma and shame of suicide is more pronounced in the medical community, says Christine Moutier, chief medical officer at the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moutier, while working at UC San Diego, was the driving force behind the first med school suicide prevention program in California, \u003ca href=\"https://healthsciences.ucsd.edu/som/hear/Documents/suicide-prevention-depression-awareness.pdf\">back in 2009\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the time, it felt like few were doing that work, and it felt like swimming upstream to get it done,\" Moutier says. \"And it became even more difficult when I would take ideas to the regional or national level. It was slow going.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moutier points to the irony that those attending to people’s health are facing their own health crisis. “It’s such a disconnect that health professionals don’t take this seriously,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She calls the problem a public health crisis–not just for the medical providers, but for their patients as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a major problem,” Moutier says. “I mean, if you’re looking at the fact that almost a \u003ca href=\"http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/2467822\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quarter of interns\u003c/a> are thinking of suicide, what kind of care are they giving patients?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A national movement is now afoot to address the issue. The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education last year \u003ca href=\"https://www.acgme.org/Portals/0/PDFs/JointReleaseFinal_Letterhead.pdf\">launched an initiative\u003c/a> to prevent medical school and residency suicides, and it hopes to require residency training programs to have wellness initiatives in place starting in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.acgme.org/Portals/0/PDFs/Nasca-Community/Section-VI-Memo-3-10-17.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent ACGME decision\u003c/a> raised the\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/10/health/us-doctors-residents-24-hour-shifts.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> number of continuous hours\u003c/a> first-year residents can work, from 16 to 24.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among other medical schools across the state, UCSF now requires third-year medical students, who typically spend up to 80 hours a week on hospital rotations, to attend check-in mental-health sessions. Stanford School of Medicine has a similar program to identify and help those who might be struggling with stress and burnout. One residency program at Stanford also offers stress-reduction perks like free delivery of groceries to residents' homes and time to exercise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of these efforts are a good start, but just a start, says Sidney Zisook, director of the psychiatry residency program at UC San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been a code of silence throughout the years. Places have tried to cover this up and hush it up, no question,\" Zisook says. “I do think things are moving in a positive direction now. But certainly institutions need to take a much more serious look at this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raghavan, the third-year medical student from USC, says she recognizes the support she is getting from the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"On your own, you never have enough time to sit and think about what you need.
