September is Suicide Prevention Month. Understanding and listening can make a difference. Let's change the narrative and encourage open and honest discussions. Let's raise awareness and show compassion for those struggling. Let's come together to save lives and help those in need. In organisations that have an 'open door' culture, people feel more confident to welcome communication from colleagues on any personal or difficult issues, and everyone feels psychologically safe in bringing issues and concerns to a colleague they like and trust for support. Share with us how your workplace is doing/could do this. We want to spread the word of good practice for the benefit of every workplace and its people. #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealthAwareness #EmpoweringJane

📅 September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day With the average person spending around a third of their lives in work, colleagues are well-placed to notice when someone may be struggling and to offer support and understanding when it's needed most.

To help raise awareness of the importance of mental health and the collective effort required to prevent suicide, we've pulled together a number of resources for both managers and staff: 🔗 Support for Managers: https://lnkd.in/e-mny65f 🔗 Support for Staff: https://lnkd.in/eiWVDD4K Let's work together to ensure that everyone feels valued and supported this World Suicide Prevention Day! #WSPD #MentalHealthAtWork #WorkplaceWellbeing #MINDFULEMPLOYER #HR

This week marked the first 121 coaching sessions in the community #carlisle. It was brilliant to sit face to face and encourage healthy habits, goal setting and understand that a lot of common wellbeing problems derives from not getting the right support from your employer. In fact, 90% of the conversations this week were about challenging situations in the workplace and fear of failure. Let’s start to recognise the impact that poor management has on our lives. Allowing wellbeing coaching to be inclusive and affordable for everyone in the community is a commitment I have made through my new consulting venture. #coaching #development #wellbeingcoaching

Thompson Excavation: Suicide Prevention Training Jay Segura, Doug Cooper, Kathy May, Julie Wilson, Jessi Marcincavage, and Brandon Paxton recently attended a BX Class on suicide prevention. May is Suicide Awareness Month, and this class was crucial for recognizing signs and learning proper intervention techniques. The construction industry faces unique challenges that can contribute to a high rate of suicide. Job security, financial strain, stigma, isolation, substance abuse, and physical demands all play a role. This training focused on identifying early warning signs and taking appropriate steps to prevent tragic outcomes. Just as with any safety hazard, understanding and addressing mental health crises is essential. Together, we can create a safer and more supportive workplace. #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealthMatters #ThompsonExcavation
