To support you in delivering meaningful and timely information to your members, we’re pleased to share the latest edition of our Blueprint to Wellness series.

Each month, these toolkits offer practical, ready-to-use resources you can easily share to help members strengthen their overall well-being.

This edition focuses on supporting someone at risk: suicide and self-harm awareness. Suicide can affect every part of a person’s life, including relationships, families, workplaces and communities. Understanding common warning signs and learning how to respond with empathy can help create connection, reduce stigma and encourage people to seek support when they need it most.

This toolkit includes:

• Homewood Health Employee Life Line: Supporting Someone at Risk: Suicide and Self-Harm Awareness, including information about risk factors, warning signs and practical ways to support someone in distress.
• Recognizing someone at risk: Early warning signs can save lives. This guide provides clear steps to recognize risk, respond with care and connect to help.
• A curated selection of podcast, app-based and online resources focused on suicide prevention, crisis support and safety planning.
• A templated email you can share directly with your members.

To begin, download the toolkit. It includes a templated email to send to your members, along with practical tools and supporting resources to help them recognize warning signs, respond with care and connect people to support when it is needed most.

We look forward to bringing you the next edition of our Blueprint to Wellness series next month.
