Launching the Workplace Suicide Prevention Toolkit and Infographic
On World Suicide Prevention Day, GAMIAN-Europe is launching two new resources: the Workplace Suicide Prevention Toolkit and Infographic. These practical tools aim to help organisations across Europe address the critical link between workplace stress and suicide.
Why workplaces matter
Workplace stress is a leading driver of poor mental health. Across Europe, more than 84 million people experience mental health problems, and nearly half of all workers face risks that affect their well-being. Unmanaged stress can lead to burnout, depression, and even suicide. However, many organisations still lack clear guidance and tools to respond effectively.
What the resources offer
Infographic: A clear overview of workplace stress and suicide risk, with simple strategies to create healthier working environments. Designed for sharing and display, it helps spark awareness and conversation.
Policy Toolkit: Ready-to-use templates, best-practice guidance, and reflections from people with lived experience. Their voices bring the issue to life:
“It is definitely a culture thing, and words must match action. My previous employer said all the right things, but their actions were the complete opposite.”
“I was told I was too weak for the work I did. I asked countless times for supervision, but was told there was no time or budget. I was never asked what would help me stay in work.”
The reason why this matters
Talking openly about workplace stress and suicide reduces stigma, creates space for support, and reminds employees they are not alone. These resources make suicide prevention achievable and relevant for every workplace.
A call to action
The Toolkit and Infographic are now available for organisations of all sizes and sectors. Whether you are an employer, manager, or employee, you can use them to build safer, healthier workplaces where mental health is taken seriously.
Together, we can create work environments where people feel supported, and the risks of stress and suicide are addressed with care and responsibility.
