Concerned about a colleague?

Many people worry about saying the wrong thing when someone they work with is struggling. You might wonder how to ask about suicide, worry that bringing it up could put the idea in someone’s head, or feel unsure what to do if they say yes. You don’t have to be a medical professional to support someone. The links below are here to guide you and help you feel more confident in reaching out.

Awareness sessions for those you support

Our wide range of talks, education and well-being activities can support EVERYONE and may play a useful role in your wider well-being plan to help those whom you support. Both our suicide prevention, mental health and well-being talks are open to the public, available online and fully funded for parents, carers, young people and anyone who needs a ticket. Should you wish to signpost those you support to our public programme, please guide them to our awareness session pages. Should you wish to organise an in-house session, we’ll be very pleased to start a conversation about your needs.

Information and support

Prioritising your well-being can often take a backseat. At OLLIE, we understand the toll this can take on your team’s mental health. We champion meaningful self-care practices tailored to your unique needs. Whether you seek well-being talks, guidance for a Safe Plan, or a simple conversation with our team, we’re here to help. Your role may be to support others, but our mission is to support you. Let OLLIE be your partner in creating a workplace that values and nurtures your well-being. Your journey to a healthier, balanced work life can start with OLLIE.

If you have lost someone in your workplace to suicide, please accept OLLIE’s deepest condolences. Whilst no words can heal the ripple effect of heartbreak, we hope that these resources and organisations may help guide you, and those you are supporting, during this difficult time. Should you wish to invite OLLIE into your workplace to support your team to navigate their bereavement, we offer a guided workshop called Write to Release™ to guide colleagues through their grief.
