CBP Suicide Awareness and Prevention

About CBP Suicide Awareness and Prevention

Unscripted conversations with CBP Employees who have been impacted from the loss of a loved one, coworker or other relation through suicide. These are not therapy sessions but are meant to help us break the stigma of reaching out for help. These conversations are led by Dr Kent Corso, a clinical psychologist who specializes in suicide prevention. Suicide is difficult topic to talk about it is not one we can talk about vaguely or indirectly if we hope to make a difference. If by any chance you have lived experience or are triggered, if anything we discuss is upsetting or distressing to you, please reach out for help. Reach out to those who care and love you and reach out to those you love. If you are a CBP employee or family member you can always contact a peer support member, chaplain, or Veteran Support Member or you can reach out to our Employee Assistance Program. If you are not a CBP employee you can call 1-800-273-8255 which is the National Suicide Lifeline.
