In this AMA STEPS Forward Podcast®, host Kevin Hopkins, MD speaks with Halle Ellison MD, MAS PSHQ, FACS, Director of Physician and APP Well-being, and Stephanie Andreacci, LCSW, Peer Support Program Manager, about the creation and evolution of Geisinger's Personnel Crisis Response Team (PCRT). What started as an effort to coordinate a fragmented, siloed response has grown into a comprehensive, proactive framework with 160 activations in just three years. Dr. Ellison and Stephanie share how they tackled stigma, changed language around suicide, built cross-departmental collaboration, and created a culture where asking for help is not just accepted, but expected.","meta_description":"The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline provides free and confidential emotional support to people in suicidal crisis or emotional distress 24 hours a day, 7 da…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2133,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/ama-steps-forward-podcast-3867562/episodes/a-blueprint-for-health-care-leaders-to-support-staff-after-physician-suicide/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ama-steps-forward-podcast-3867562/a-blueprint-for-health-care-leaders-to-support-staff-after-physician-suicide.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
