Practice 1: Leadership: Cultivate a Caring Culture Focused on Community Well-Being

Create a healthy and caring community and foster genuine community support and a sense of belonging. Engage leadership around a mindset that mental health and suicide prevention are important pieces of the overall health and safety concerns of the community.

Why is this important and what does this practice entail?

When planning and implementing upstream suicide prevention practices, leaders and managers must focus efforts that cultivate a culture of compassion and resilience by strategically aligning psychological safety initiatives with other core components of the organization. By honing and modeling skills of self-care, emotional intelligence and empathy, managers can demonstrate how taking care of one another is key to the mission of the work. Leaders can also decrease blame culture by empowering a learning environment for managers that gives them adequate training, supervision, and support resources.
