Suicide Prevention & Stress Management in Uncertain Times: Essential for Every Workplace

When stress hits, it doesn’t knock politely. It shows up in missed deadlines, disengaged teams, quiet burnout, and—if left unchecked—crisis situations no one feels prepared to handle.

The truth is, mental health is a workplace issue. Whether you’re leading a corporate team, a school, a healthcare agency, or a nonprofit, your people are navigating unprecedented levels of stress and uncertainty. Ignoring it? That’s not just risky—it’s costly.

But the solution isn’t complicated. With the right tools, you can create a safer, more supportive work environment where people feel seen, valued, and empowered to get help when they need it.

Why Suicide Prevention & Stress Management Training Matters

✔ Suicide remains the 2nd leading cause of death for ages 10-34. This isn’t just a statistic—it’s a wake-up call for every workplace that engages with youth, young adults, and stressed employees.

✔ Economic instability, social stress, and workplace pressure compound mental health challenges. Burnout isn’t just a personal problem—it’s an organizational one.

✔ Empowered teams = safer workplaces. When employees know how to recognize warning signs and offer support, everyone benefits.

A School District’s Success

One Florida school district partnered with Hyman Consulting for QPR Gatekeeper Training after noticing rising mental health concerns among students and staff. The result?

• They launched peer support circles where teachers could share concerns and resources.

• Staff reported a significant increase in confidence when addressing mental health issues.

• The initiative also improved team cohesion—teachers felt less isolated and more connected.

In six months, what started as a training session evolved into a cultural shift toward proactive mental health support.
