Leading with Grace: How to Support Teammates in a Crisis

We all go through tough times. If you think a member of your team might be struggling, there are ways you can help.
1. Start by having a private conversation. Let them know they can talk to you about anything that might be on their mind. Listening and showing empathy can often make a huge difference.
2. If you think they might benefit from talking to a professional, you can encourage them to make an appointment with a Military and Family Life Counselor or at your mental health clinic.
3. You can also suggest other resources, such as financial counseling, the Employee Assistance Program or a chaplain.

As leaders and teammates, it’s up to all of us to lead with grace. Together we can create a healthier and more resilient team. Thank you for all you do to improve health and build readiness in support of those we’re privileged to serve.

If you are in a crisis or know someone who is call the Suicide and Prevention Hotline 988 or chat online at 988lifeline.org.
