Does your organization know what to do when a mental health crisis strikes?
Most don't. And most managers find out the hard way — in the middle of the moment, with no script, no protocol, and no idea whether what they're about to say will help or make things worse.
This free checklist changes that. Right now. Today.
The Workplace Mental Health Crisis Response Checklist gives HR directors, managers, and team leaders the exact step-by-step guidance they need to respond confidently and compassionately when an employee is in crisis.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Immediate Crisis Indicators — know when to call emergency services vs. when to provide in-house support
Step-by-Step Response Protocols — clear procedures for different mental health emergency scenarios
Conversation Scripts — exactly what to say (and what never to say) in crisis moments
Resource Directory — crisis hotlines, professional contacts, and emergency services
Legal Guidelines — confidentiality requirements, documentation, and ADA compliance essentials
Follow-Up Procedures — how to provide ongoing support after the immediate crisis
Quick Reference Card — print this and keep it accessible
WHO THIS IS FOR:
HR Directors and People Operations Leaders
Managers and Team Leaders
Business Owners
Anyone responsible for employee wellbeing
THE REALITY:
1 in 5 employees is struggling with a mental health challenge right now. Without clear protocols, well-meaning managers can inadvertently make situations worse — or miss the warning signs entirely.
This checklist is your first line of defense.
