SUMMARY:Suicide Prevention in the Workplace: Noticing and Responding to Co-workers in Distress
DESCRIPTION:Suicide is a leading cause of death among working-aged individuals. Research shows that suicide prevention efforts—including identifying and assisting those at risk\, responding effectively to those in crisis\, and ensuring access to effective mental health treatment—must be widespread and include the workplace. The good news? Employers and employees can play a powerful role in suicide prevention. This online workshop will help you recognize warning signs for suicide and emotional distress and walk you through action steps to take to express concern and connect your colleague to the appropriate level of support. Many of us spend more waking hours interacting with co-workers than we do with friends or family members. Let’s work together to bring suicide out of the shadows by learning how to respond confidently\, compassionately\, and effectively to a co-worker in crisis. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have questions about the access provided\, please contact Carolyn Dellatore\, Assistant Vice President of Workplace Culture\, at cdellato@hr.rutgers.edu\, in advance of your participation. \nVIRTUAL EVENT. Registration link / event website:\nhttps://lyrahealth.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jkVBYFeZSguRqLRg8oK7dQ \nOnce you register\, you will receive information about how to join the virtual event.
