Join Us - FSPHP-ETA™ Accreditation Insights & Info Session
|
Does your evaluation or treatment program specialize in the care of healthcare professionals, or would you like to learn more about accreditation for this specialized care?
This interactive webinar will feature programs that have completed FSPHP-ETA™ accreditation, along with the subject matter experts who participate in the review process. The session will highlight why organizations chose to participate, what the process was like, and the value accreditation brings to programs and to the field.
Colleagues who have completed the process consistently describe it as rigorous, highly meaningful, and ultimately rewarding in strengthening their programs and contributing to the field.
If you are considering participation—or simply want a clearer understanding of the process—this session will provide valuable perspective from those who have been directly involved.

Bipartisan Resolution Recognizes National Physician Suicide Awareness Day
|
Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens, alongside Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), announced a bipartisan resolution to recognize September 17th as National Physician Suicide Awareness Day and recognize the intense pressure and trauma physicians face in the workplace. The resolution enhances national awareness of the mental health crisis facing American physicians and honors the memory of the physicians we have lost to suicide. It also urges the establishment of national awareness and educational activities.
