VitalCog: Suicide Prevention in the Workplace

The VitalCog in the Workplace program trains employees at all levels of an organization to recognize the critical importance of suicide prevention, while creating opportunities for open conversations and access to resources within the workplace. Our vision is to cultivate a workplace community of employees who aspire to eliminate the devastating impact of suicide.

• The Problem: Suicide rates are highest among working-age adults.
• The Solution: You. By understanding and engaging in suicide prevention.
• Goals: To promote critical thinking about suicide prevention. To open a dialogue about mental health. To promote help-seeking and help-giving behaviors.

This 90-minute training includes videos, group discussions, exercises, and role-plays designed to foster a deeper understanding of your role in suicide prevention.
