You'll learn how to recognize signs of risk, engage in conversations that create safety and connection, and link employees to life-saving support. Drawing from practical tools and grounded in compassion, this session will help you move past stigma, silence, and fear-and into action.

The Transformation? Imagine a workplace where every employee feels seen, heard, and valued. Where leaders are equipped to step in early, connect with care, and foster psychological safety. Where stigma is replaced by support-and silence by meaningful, life-affirming conversations.
