Helping local businesses become suicide-safer

Grassroots is a Brighton-based charity that delivers mental health and suicide prevention training across the city and the South East.

You can help Grassroots prevent suicide by completing this short survey. We want to provide better support for Brighton & Hove businesses around suicide prevention and mental wellbeing in the workplace.

As a thank you, we are offering local business people a free place on our suicide alertness training! Details are at the end of the survey.

We want to help you make your business as effective as possible by being a great employer and a good organisation to do business with.

Suicide can have a significant impact on any business, affecting the social and financial functioning of the workplace. Whether it is thoughts of suicide, attempts or deaths, morale and productivity are profoundly affected. Mental health problems can also greatly affect the workplace for all involved.

Your responses will help us to better understand your needs so that we can support local businesses to become suicide-safer. Thank you for your time!
