Why Suicide Is Different: Essential Information for Caregivers & Employers
Jodi Frey, Christel Joel Tajouoh
United Survivors Webinar
8/20/24
Supporting a loved one through mental health struggles and/or suicidal crisis can be a uniquely challenging experience for caregivers. This responsibility can also increase stress which can in turn impact a caregiver's productivity at work.
Workplaces are uniquely positioned to provide support and resources for caregivers as the first line of defense. This webinar can help caregivers gain skills and knowledge to better support their loved ones while also caring for themselves. It provides employers with an understanding of the needs of mental health and suicide caregivers, as well as strategies to plan ahead for organizational sustainability when employees may need to take time away to provide care (for loved ones at risk).
