Mental Health Awareness Month is a valuable time to inform employees of mental health considerations and to share relevant resources and support. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), approximately 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experience mental illness. Mental health support is particularly important these days as social media and society have caused an uptick in mental health concerns such as depression and suicide. This May, use this Toolkit to increase mental health awareness and reduce the stigma in your community. # Safety Tools ![LiveSafe Mental Health Awarenesss Infographic 2022 - Landing Page](https://resources.vectorsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/COM/LS/LS%20-%20Content%20Marketing/LS%20-%20Toolkits/Toolkit%20Images/LiveSafe%20Mental%20Health%20Awarenesss%20Infographic%202022%20-%20Landing%20Page.jpg?width=768&height=576&name=LiveSafe%20Mental%20Health%20Awarenesss%20Infographic%202022%20-%20Landing%20Page.jpg) **Mental Health Awareness Infographic **presents staggering statistics about mental health illness and experiences in the U.S. **Share this infographic with your community **to build awareness of the prevalence of mental health conditions and to encourage those who need help to reach out. **[Click to Download](https://resources.vectorsolutions.com/hubfs/LiveSafe%20Mental%20Health%20Awarenesss%20Infographic%202022.pdf?hsLang=en)** ![4 Ways to Use LiveSafe for Mental Health ENT 2022 - Landing Page](https://resources.vectorsolutions.com/hubfs/COM/LS/LS%20-%20Content%20Marketing/LS%20-%20Toolkits/Toolkit%20Images/4%20Ways%20to%20Use%20LiveSafe%20for%20Mental%20Health%20ENT%202022%20-%20Landing%20Page.jpg) **“4 Ways to Use LiveSafe for Mental Health Awareness” **outlines four key features of the Vector LiveSafe Mobile App that can be used to promote mental health awareness and support. **Share this infographic **with employees and LiveSafe administrators so they know how they can use Vector LiveSafe in the event of a mental health emergency, even when they are not in the office. **[Click to Download](https://resources.vectorsolutions.com/hubfs/COM/LS/LS%20-%20Content%20Marketing/LS%20-%20Toolkits/Toolkit%20Files/4%20Ways%20to%20Use%20LiveSafe%20for%20Mental%20Health%20ENT%202022.pdf?hsLang=en)** ![Webinar Banner](https://resources.vectorsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/VS%20Education%20Marketing/EDU%20Newsletter%20Images/Signs/Webinar%20Banner.jpg?width=9013&height=5546&name=Webinar%20Banner.jpg) **“Protecting Your Workforce’s Mental Health During The Pandemic” Webinar **discusses COVID-19’s impact on mental health and what companies can do to support workforce well-being and mental health. **Listen to and share the webinar**, and discuss your organization’s current policies and procedures for supporting the mental well-being of employees and staff, especially during this challenging time. **[Watch Here](https://www.vectorsolutions.com/resources/webinars/protecting-your-workforces-mental-health-during-the-pandemic/)** ![shutterstock_1489697975-scaled](https://resources.vectorsolutions.com/hubfs/shutterstock_1489697975-scaled.jpeg) **Addressing Gender-Based Violence in the Workplace Blog **discusses the prevalence and impacts of gender-based violence in the workplace, including its mental health effects. **Share this blog** with employees to educate and inform your organization about the risk and consequences of gender-based violence. **[Read Here](https://www.vectorsolutions.com/resources/blogs/addressing-gender-based-violence-in-the-workplace/)** ![shutterstock_152360516](https://resources.vectorsolutions.com/hs-fs/hubfs/shutterstock_152360516.jpg?width=1000&height=667&name=shutterstock_152360516.jpg) **“The Global Mental Health Epidemic and What It Means For The Future of Workplace Safety and Security” Blog **discusses the need for business leaders to be aware of safety and security risks due to the increasing prevalence of mental health disorders around the world. **Read and share the blog**, and identify how your company can do more to build awareness around mental health care and support the mental well-being of your employees.  **[Read Now](https://www.vectorsolutions.com/resources/blogs/the-global-mental-health-epidemic-and-what-it-means-for-the-future-of-workplace-safety-and-security/)** ## Tips to Protect Your Workplace with Vector LiveSafe ![LiveSafe-dashboard-and-mobile-app-rebrand](https://resources.vectorsolutions.com/hubfs/COM/LS/LS%20-%20Content%20Marketing/LS%20-%20Toolkits/LiveSafe-dashboard-and-mobile-app-rebrand.png) 1.
