The Problem:

• Deaths by suicide cost the United States $44 billion annually
• More days of work loss and work impairment are caused by mental illness than many other chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma and arthritis
• In a three-month period, patients with depression miss an average of 4.8 workdays and suffer 11.5 days of reduced productivity
• Depression is estimated to cause 200 million lost workdays each year at a cost to employers of $17 to $44 billion

The Solution: VitalCog

VitalCog trains organizations to proactively address the early warning signs of suicide in the workplace. Just as organizations have realized they can help reduce heart disease by encouraging exercise, they can also reduce suicide by promoting mental health and encouraging early identification and intervention. This training will educate and equip businesses with tools to address mental health and suicide concerns within the workplace.

VitalCog Training:

This training gives participants the skills and tools to appreciate the critical need for suicide prevention while creating a forum for dialogue and critical thinking about workplace mental health challenges, and by promoting help-seeking and help-giving.

VitalCog is available as a custom offering exclusively for your employees. Capacity for customized trainings are 10-20 employees. For more information or to schedule a session, please contact Emily at emily@abckeystone.org.
