#SuicidePreventionMonth PSA 🗣️ Talking about suicidal thoughts doesn't increase the risks. It can actually be the first step toward getting help. If you are struggling, don't wait to reach out. Whether it's to someone close to you, a trained mental health provider, or the 988 Lifeline (available for free 24/7/365), support is always there. If it is an emergency, call 911 right away. If someone confides in you about suicidal thoughts, remember the ACE (Ask, Care, Escort) approach. 
 💬 Ask. Be direct and ask questions like “have you thought about harming yourself or want to die by suicide?” or “Do you have a plan?” 💚 Care. Listen without judgment and show compassion. Let them know that they are not alone. 🤝 Escort. If they are at risk, help them connect to the 988 Lifeline or a professional. If it’s an emergency, call 911 immediately. You can make a difference—speaking up can save lives.

When it comes to #DEIB and #allyship, training is just the beginning. Karishma Patel Buford, Spring Health’s Chief People Officer, recently had the opportunity to sit down with Sacha Thompson, MBA, MEd, ACC, host of DEI After 5, to discuss how our organization implements actionable allyship training—building awareness, looking in the mirror, and coming from a place of deep empathy. 🌿 “So much of the divisiveness that’s coming out today, whether it’s social, or political et cetera, is this idea that ‘I’m right, and you’re wrong’ and that there’s only one truth,” Karishma explains. “So much of DEI is the idea that there are multiple truths... but if there is a need to be right and you’re wrong, then we’re not going to progress.” This conversation is full of incredible insights to inspire DEIB initiatives at your organization.
