Corporate Programmes & Partnerships
Mental Health Corporate Culture Change Programmes
A corporate wellness or positive mental health strategy is more than just a good HR initiative, it is an essential part of running a successful and profitable business. Mental Health plays a vital role in productivity, functionality and overall wellbeing of individuals and teams.
MENTAL HEALTH BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT…
At Suicide or Survive, we work with organisations to open the conversation around positive mental health and to introduce staff and management to the positive benefits of taking personal responsibility for their own wellness. Our programmes help break the stigma that stops people from seeking help when they struggle.
ONE STEP AT A TIME…
So whether your company has an existing wellness programme, or you just are starting the journey, our team can tailor a plan to suit your organisation’s needs. We can help you build on the foundations already in place, identify any gaps and address any areas for improvement.
We empower organisations to change the culture surrounding mental health in their workplace.
The SOS Wellness programmes have been independently assessed by Trinity College and are endorsed by the HSE.

CONTINUING THE SOS WELLNESS JOURNEY SEMINARS, WEBINARS & MODULES
SOS offers continuing support to our Corporate partners building on existing programmes and maintaining Workplace Wellness. We have a number of short seminars and webinars that can continue your company’s journey.
Finding the Balance in Everyday Life
Sometimes with the hectic pace of life we can find ourselves feeling out of kilter or off balance, like something’s not quite right. In this practical session participants will learn how to check in and identify the areas of their lives that need attention. This will allow them to take action to achieve balance and maintain their wellness.
Dealing with the Dips and the Down Days
Everyone can feel down or can have a dip in their mental health. This thought provoking and engaging session demystifies the dips. It provides practical tools that participants can use to identify when their mood is dipping and provides tips on how they can help themselves when their mood is low.
Silencing the Inner Critic
Often the greatest obstacle to achieving happiness and wellbeing is ourselves. Self-judgment and self-criticism along with fears about what others will think get in our way. This simple but powerful session teaches how to accept yourself and silence that inner critic so that you can live as your best version of you.
How to Stop Feeding the Fear
Fear can literally take your breath away. In this practical and effective session the SOS team will share cutting edge thinking along with their own experience and expertise on how to identify and deal with the anxiety that can stop us in our tracks, stifle our creativity and prevent us from living life to its fullest.
MANAGERS SKILLS DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT FORUM
These SOS facilitated sessions provide a safe space where groups of managers/ team leaders get together to share their experience of supporting staff members. The group can learn from each other and get support from our team around implementing their learnings from the Managers Workshop.
These Support and Skill Development Sessions will:
- Enhance the skills of managers/ team leaders in supporting staff
- Improve the level of collegiality and
team work among managers/ team leaders - Deepen the cultural shift around mental health
- Increase the return on investment in the area of mental health for the

We recommend that these sessions occur on a quarterly basis to have the most impact.
