Supporting Suicide Prevention and Response — Resources Available in English, Arabic, French, and Spanish

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a time to focus on recognizing risk, supporting the people around us, and fostering connection and hope. To mark it, we’re highlighting three of our staff care resources on suicide prevention and response — each available in English, Arabic, French, and Spanish, so your teams can access support in the language that works best for them.

How to Help Someone Having Thoughts of Suicide: Practical guidance for supporting a colleague, friend, or family member who may be having thoughts of suicide — covering how to recognize warning signs, ask directly and compassionately, and connect them with appropriate support.
Available in: English | Arabic | French | Spanish

What to Do If You Are Having Thoughts About Suicide: A resource for anyone personally experiencing suicidal thoughts, outlining concrete steps for staying safe — reaching out to trusted people or crisis lines, reducing access to means of harm, staying connected rather than isolating, and building structure into each day during a difficult period.
Available in: English | Arabic | French | Spanish

Supporting Employees Returning to Work After a Mental Health Crisis, Traumatic Event, or Suicide Attempt: Guidance for managers on helping employees reintegrate after a crisis — including how to build a personalized return-to-work plan, maintain confidentiality, offer flexibility, and communicate with care.
Available in: English | Arabic | French | Spanish

These resources, along with our full library of staff care materials, are available in our Staff Care Resource Library. If you or someone on your team needs additional support, don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re here to help.
