During National Suicide Prevention Month (September), small business owners can play a crucial role in supporting their employees by prioritizing mental health in the workplace. By nurturing a supportive environment, they help ensure team members feel valued and cared for, contributing to overall well-being. This focus not only helps reduce risks associated with mental health challenges and suicidal thoughts but also demonstrates a deep commitment to employee health and happiness.
As one of the few Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) that serve small employers, The Holman Group offers suicide awareness education, classes, webinars, and a 24/7 crisis hotline, which are included in most benefits packages.
The EAP can be offered as a standalone benefit or seamlessly integrated with other mental health and substance abuse programs, ensuring a holistic approach to addressing employee needs.
