Dr. Colleen Saringer
I'm not here to teach you how to spot an employee who is struggling mentally. I'm here because your workplace is the reason for the struggle; and together, we can turn your workplace into a suicide prevention system.
Dr. Colleen Saringer has spent 25 years inside some of the most demanding industries — from sheet metal shops and industrial roofing companies to global energy pipelines and corporate boardrooms. What she's found is that regardless of where she went, the same uncomfortable truth is present: the work environment itself is making people sick, and in some cases, it's costing them their lives.
As a published, peer-reviewed researcher and Global Organizational Health Leader, Dr. Colleen is one of the only paid professional speakers in the U.S. whose work sits squarely at the intersection of workplace psychosocial risk factors and suicide prevention. Her work goes beyond recognizing warning signs or teaching mental health first aid. She dismantles the systems, cultures, and leadership behaviors — the job demands, the lack of control, the bullying, the isolation, the injustice — that are quietly eroding the mental health of workers across every industry. Her clients span construction, energy, manufacturing, and corporate America. Her message is the same for all of them: this isn't an HR issue. It's a business risk — and leaders have the power, and the responsibility, to change it.
Dr. Colleen holds a PhD, is a peer-reviewed published author on workplace culture and health behavior policy, and is a recognized voice in the national conversation on workplace suicide prevention.
