Breaking the Silence: A Mental Health Initiative to Reduce Stigma Among Medical Students.

Problem: Mental health conditions are common among medical students. While stigma contributes to low rates of help seeking, little programming exists to address stigma.

Approach: In 2015, the authors developed a mental health initiative (MHI) to combat stigma at the Pritzker School of Medicine featuring 3 elements: (1) Mental Health Panel, an annual first-year event where faculty/peers share mental health stories; (2) Pritzker, I Screwed Up, an annual all-school event where faculty/peers share experiences with failure; and (3) Humans of Pritzker, a social media initiative featuring students' mental health posts.
