Recognizing and Responding To Mental Health Concerns, Including Suicidal Risk In The Workplace

Session Overview: HR professionals are often the members of an organization who best can best spot irregularities in an employee’s behavior.  In addition, they are frequently the “people advocates” in the organization, looking out for everyone’s welfare.  This presentation will help you become more aware of those irregularities that may be signs of high-risk behaviors and warnings of self-destructive inclinations.  Learning objectives include being able to identify what high-risk behaviors and warning signs to look for, know what protective actions to take and what resources are available, as well as to gain an understanding of the scope of suicide occurrences nationwide and regionally among the general population and among veterans and Guard members and reservists.
