• Most businesses seek help when they're already in crisis mode, realizing teams lack direction or purpose
• Clear expectations are essential—many leaders think employees understand their role when there's actually a significant disconnect
• Rehabilitating struggling employees requires checking three boxes: clear expectations, proper tools/training, and genuine desire to do the work
• Some wonderful people may simply be in the wrong position, like managers who can't hold others accountable
• Remote work creates challenges for team connection—people typically stay at companies because of relationships, not abstract loyalty
• Business growth often stalls because owners fear delegating or hiring someone who won't meet their standards
• Cross-training and development programs prepare employees for different roles, ensuring business continuity and improving retention
• Every position has value—leaders who treat all roles "like the gold they are" create environments where people thrive
• The direct supervisor is the most important person in determining employee satisfaction and success
• The ultimate goal is creating a workplace where employees say "I love this place" rather than considering other offers

Suicide prevention and supporting those left behind are critical yet often overlooked aspects of mental health care. Dr. Phil from Mental Health America of Southeast Florida shares his personal story and professional insights on helping suicide survivors heal and preventing further tragedies.

• Email: [email protected]
• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-bulone-phd-lmhc-atr-bc-8b860b7/

• Between 800,000 to 1 million people die by suicide worldwide annually, with each death affecting approximately 135 people
• For every suicide, about 20 people in the deceased's intimate circle experience profound grief and may need specialized support
• Mental Health America's LOSS team provides wraparound services including emotional support, financial assistance, and practical help with funeral arrangements
• Language matters when discussing suicide – phrases like "died by suicide" instead of "committed suicide" help reduce stigma
• Asking someone directly about suicidal thoughts does not put the idea in their mind – it opens necessary communication
• If someone expresses suicidal thoughts, stay with them and contact the 988 crisis line or other emergency services
• Those bereaved by suicide face unique challenges including increased suicide risk themselves, making support groups crucial
• Small acts of kindness and support can make significant differences – you may not save everyone, but saving one person matters
