Suicide prevention is important. Yet why do very few EAP Web sites discuss the topic directly?
Historically, EAPs have been highly focused on alcoholism and other key problems, the identification and helping of drug-using employees, and ensuring that management sees high rates of supervisor- and self-referrals. This is all good.
EAPs know these things are linked to their sustainability. However, suicide prevention has not been on the EAP radar screen very much. Should it not be front and center?
If you have experienced a client suicide, you naturally wonder from time to time what you could have done differently to prevent it. That's normal. And the answer is "nothing" and letting it go.
Education and prevention simply make sense. This product is a tool to offer some possible help.
It makes sense that every helping professional should have a grounding in suicide prevention, but to take it a step further, it is a no-brainer that we should make it easy for employees to access this information without having to schedule an appointment for help "next Thursday." Some will wait. Others won't. And some won't call at all. However, you can still reach them all with your Web site.
A suicide prevention Flash movie on your Web site should be in place to help employees who may never call for help. It's for those who are suicidal, but even more importantly, it is for those who know others who are or may become suicidal. This is where real intervention opportunity lies.
Whether it is a concerned family member or a potential victim, there is a strong case for easy access to suicide prevention information. Your Web site is probably the best starting point. That's because it can be reached with one click from anywhere, and perhaps just at the right moment.
We created an nine minute program that can go on your Web site. We ran the program by a U.S. Army EAP office, got some input, and then a private EAP vendor, too. Both said they wanted it for their Web sites--like, "yesterday." That's a "yes" vote for it's perceived value.
You can see the entire program here.
This product gives EAPs and other prevention programs something that they did not have before, a prevention movie that may help prevent suicide. It uploads to your Web site. There are no added fees. No subscription costs. You own it. And any person visiting can access the information instantly. It will motivate viewers to get help.
We are sure this program will help your EAP or workforce management program demonstrate that you are on top of this serious health crisis, and it will show that you are adding value even in this economy.
