Suicide is a public mental health epidemic. Each life lost is tragic. Yet mental health challenges can often be addressed before escalating to a crisis. For example, did you know that by asking simple questions*, you may be able to help save someone’s life?

If suicide is the symptom, then how can we address the underlying causes as they come up? How do we identify hopelessness, anxiety, or depression in ourselves, our loved ones, and our teams? And how do we approach these issues when we do?

Join Spring Health for a conversation with a leading expert on suicide prevention, clinicians, and business leaders as we discuss proven ways to intervene and respond compassionately to people in crisis.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

  • Identify suicide risk
  • Ask questions to intervene
  • Address mental health stigma
  • Respond compassionately to those in crisis in the workplace
