Breaking the Silence: Suicide prevention in the workplace

We all experience painful losses, frustrations, and times when our tasks seem foreboding, if not impossible. Let's break the silence by building meaningful human connection because we are not alone. Join us in thinking about the unthinkable, working to de-stigmatize talking about mental health, and creating a call to action around this important topic. We all sense its importance, but few of us are confident in our ability to ask a colleague if they are at risk.

Why it matters: Will you join us in taking a few steps toward creating a culture of vulnerability? Use these resources to feel more confident talking about mental health and checking in with your colleagues. Learn more here.

Suicide Prevention Training

We have all heard of CPR for those in cardiac distress, but what about Emotional CPR for mental distress? Emotionally Connect, Partner and Respond (ECPR) is an effective approach any of us can use to help support and respond to peers, colleagues, family members or community members experiencing mental health concerns. Suicide prevention training empowers us to make a difference in our communities, including where we work. The course is offered in an on-demand module through Virgin Pulse.
