Q4: For the first time, there is a growing consensus that #suicideprevention MUST be a priority. These practices and principles offer clear, direct, and effective action steps that employers can immediately implement. #ElevateTheConvo #GutsGritGrind
A4: Everyone has been impacted by #mentalhealth in the last year. This is the perfect window of opportunity where conversations about #suicideprevention can be had. #WorkplaceMentalHealth #ElevateTheConvo #GutsGritGrind
A4: One silver lining from the #pandemic is that the #stigma has been reduced, and people are ready to talk about #mentalhealth in a way that hasn’t been done before. #StopTheStigma #ElevateTheConvo #GutsGritGrind #WorkplaceWellness
A3: Sadly, it’s often a #workplacesuicide that pushes an organization from inertia into action. Even so, many courageous companies are willing to speak out and encourage other groups to act before it happens to them too. They’ve turned their pain into purpose #ElevateTheConvo

A3: Rather than just pulling drowning people out of the river, we need to go upstream & get to the root of the problem to see why people are falling in the river in the first place #WorkplaceSuicidePrevention #ElevateTheConvo @BHWell_Lab Thx @sspencerthomas for pic! @mdsocialwork

A3: Fear – stigma, suicide myths, fear of liability, fear of saying or doing the wrong thing, but in actuality, we need bold leaders to take the first step & make #SuicidePrevention a workplace health & safety priority #WorkplaceSuicidePrevention #ElevateTheConvo @BHWell_Lab

A3: Money should not be a barrier. The value of saving lives is priceless. #ElevateTheConvo #WorkplaceSuicidePrevention
A3: (2/2) Fear, in that uniformed employers may mistakenly think that taking ownership of this sensitive issue and directly addressing it may increase their risk or exposure… although it’s actually the opposite. #ElevateTheConvo #GutsGritGrind #WorkplaceWellness
A3: (1/2) The same ones as always – Time and fear. Time, in that the urgency to return to “normal” post-COVID threatens to push #suicideprevention to the proverbial “we’ll get to it later” category… and it never happens. #ElevateTheConvo

A2: Leaders are sharing their stories & encouraging #PsychologicalSafety at work – they are investing resources in mental health & suicide prevention – not just lip service #WorkplaceSuicidePrevention #ElevateTheConvo @BHWell_Lab
