Yesterday i joined @HospitalMathari & @spinkingske for the #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #WSPD2022 Ride. #SuicidePreventionAwarenessMonth #SuicidePrevention #SuicideAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealth4All 
The aim of this ride is to raise awareness on Mental Welness and health; and the fact that suicide is not the solution to life's problems.
The theme of #WSPD2022 is “Creating hope through action.” It calls for collective action to address suicide prevention.

2/ One of the first steps toward ⬇️this is eliminating the #shame culture in medicine that keeps so many people suffering in silence when they experience #depression.
3/ Last month, I shared my story of #depression and passive thoughts of suicide during my Grand Rounds. I expected people to relate, but I didn't expect a trainee to share that their #WomeninMedicine trainee friend had died by suicide two days earlier.
