Mental Health in the Workforce
- Mental Health Issues Affecting First Responders First responders are the first people to assist at the scenes of emergencies and they include police officers, firefighters, EMTs, 911 operators, etc. The things they’re exposed to can be extremely daunting and affects their mental health greatly. According to SAMHSA, police officers and firefighters are more likely to die of suicide than in the line of duty.
Dependency Disorders
- Opioid Use Disorder & Suicide Individuals with Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) have a 13 times higher risk for suicide than those without OUD. To spread awareness we recently published an educational guide on suicide and OUD, high-risk populations, causes, prevention, what to do if a loved one is showing signs of being at risk of self-harm or suicide, and more.
