In this deeply human episode of The Symptom Media Podcast: Bridging the Divide in Mental Health, host Dr. Lindi van Niekerk is joined by Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Christopher Wojnar and Nurse Scientist Dr. Judy E. Davidson to confront the devastating crisis of suicide among nurses.
Drawing from personal loss, lived experience, and groundbreaking research, Chris and Judy explore how perfectionism, stigma, workplace discipline, and systemic neglect compound nurses’ vulnerability, and why silence can no longer be an option. Together, they advocate for cultural change, trauma-informed leadership, and the power of honest conversation. This episode is a powerful call to action for institutions and individuals alike: we must care for our caregivers.
