Work Is Part of the Recovery Journey: A New Video from the Secretary of Labor and the Leadership Team
| Suicide remains a leading cause of death in the United States, profoundly affecting thousands of American workers and their families each year. President Trump has made it a priority to help people get the mental health support they need, particularly in the workplace. This Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a new video from the U.S. Department of Labor supports employers to create workplaces that are healthful, safe, and supportive for all American workers, including those who need mental health treatment or recovery support. And remember, if you or anyone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. You can call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org. |
