For Leaders & Peer Support Teams
If you’re a supervisor, peer supporter, chaplain, or coworker trying to help—focus on connection, safety, and next steps. Use the options below to guide action without stigma.
- Check immediate safety: If there is imminent risk, call 911. If not, proceed with supportive outreach.
- Use 988 for guidance: Call/text 988 for coaching on how to support someone in crisis—24/7.
- Keep it practical: Offer a ride, a meal, a shift swap, or help making the first call.
- Encourage professional support: EAP/benefits, clinicians, chaplains, peer-support programs, and trusted resources.
- Document appropriately: Keep notes minimal and policy-aligned; avoid sharing details broadly.
Tip: Ask direct, compassionate questions. “How are you holding up?” “Are you thinking about harming yourself?” If the answer suggests risk, escalate to immediate help.
