HR on the Front Line: Responding to Suicidal Comments and Mental Health Crises at Work

In HR, we often prepare for everything—terminations, investigations, compliance audits—but nothing shakes us more than when an employee makes a suicidal comment or shows signs of being in crisis.

This September, during National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, join me for a life-changing 1-hour webinar designed to give HR leaders, managers, and compliance professionals the tools, scripts, and strategies to respond when the unthinkable happens.

This is not just about policies—it’s about saving lives, protecting teams, and leading with both heart and compliance.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to recognize verbal and behavioral warning signs—whether subtle or direct
• What to say, what not to say, and how to document without crossing legal lines
• How to respond in workplaces with or without an EAP

• ADA, EEOC, and policy considerations every HR professional must know
• A ready-to-use HR Suicide Response Quick Reference Checklist you can take back to your workplace

Why You Should Attend:

• Because HR is often the first line of defense when employees cry out for help

• Led by 30-year HR veteran, Elga Lejarza, CEO of HRTrainingClasses.com & Lejarza Workforce Solutions

You’ll leave this webinar better prepared, emotionally stronger, and legally confident in how to respond to one of the hardest, yet most critical challenges HR can face.
