From Awareness to Action: Suicide Prevention in the Workplace

Feb 18, 2026
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST

Overview

Suicide impacts workplaces of all sizes and in all industries. Employers play a critical role in recognizing warning signs and connecting workers to support. In 2022, 267 workplace fatalities occurred by suicide. These are not just statistics; they represent a preventable loss of life that affects colleagues, families, and the entire organization. While broader mental health conversations are important, workplaces can benefit from learning more about this important topic.

Organizations that adopt proactive approaches to mental health and suicide prevention build stronger, more resilient teams. Recent data show that 76% of U.S. workers report experiencing at least one symptom of a mental health condition in the past year. Employers can take meaningful steps to support their workforce and create environments that encourage early intervention and access to care.
