In the wake of Anthony Bourdain’s suicide, chefs and restaurateurs are speaking out about rampant stress, depression and substance abuse in their field and ways to fight back.⠀
⠀
"I don't want to hide it anymore," says Charles Ford, the 31-year-old general manager of a high-end restaurant in Chicago who attempted suicide three times.⠀
⠀
Insiders have long worried privately about the lifestyle of people who work in the restaurant industry, which has one of the highest rates of illicit drug use and alcoholism. The brutal nature of restaurant-kitchen culture is also part of the problem. Physical and emotional toughness is prized and workplace conventions like 40-hour workweeks, breaks and professional courtesy can be foreign concepts.⠀

⠀
Organizations from large trade groups to individual restaurateurs have launched efforts to support restaurant workers. In July, the National Restaurant Association started a health plan in partnership with UnitedHealthcare that offers medical and mental-health coverage. The American Culinary Federation also rolled out a group health-insurance program for members for the first time this year. ⠀
