2026 Physician Wellbeing Activities
2026 Physician Wellbeing Activities
National Physician Suicide Awareness Day (#NPSADay) on September 17 is a reminder and a call to action—but creating a culture that supports physician mental health and wellbeing takes all of us, every day.
Throughout September, organizations across the NPSA Day community are creating opportunities to learn, connect, share resources and take action. Explore the events and resources below and find a way to get involved—whether that means joining a conversation, earning CME, bringing new tools back to your organization or sharing support with a physician in your life.
This September, make time to talk—and to act. Together, we can help ensure physicians’ struggles don’t become mental health emergencies.
