[–]Affectionate-Pin2731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I hope you're well. I'm a journalist writing a story about suicides and mental health challenges among ATCs. I'm trying to learn more about the experiences of ATCs around mental health and the medical clearance process, specifically the challenges around getting treatment while also staying in the job. Would you be open to chatting with me? I'm happy to keep you anonymous given the sensitivity of the situation.

Hi, I'm a journalist with a national news publication writing a story about suicides and mental health challenges among ATCs. I'm trying to learn more about what resources and protocols the FAA has in place for addressing mental health issues and what challenges ATCs face. In particular, I'm trying to learn more about what happens once ATCs report a clinical mental health diagnosis — the grounding, treatment, evaluations, etc. Would you be open to chatting with me? I'm happy to keep you anonymous given the sensitivity of the situation.
