In physical therapy, we often focus on helping people heal physically, but true health includes the mind and body. Today, we’re joined by PA Alexandra Walker for an open and important conversation about suicide prevention. We’ll talk about the myths that surround suicide, how to recognize red flags in our patients, and how we can better support not only those we treat, but also our coworkers and colleagues. This discussion is about giving PTs practical tools and confidence to step into these tough moments with compassion and awareness.
