In December of 2023 the Centers for Disease Control published a report about Industry and Occupational suicide rates for the year 2021. 

The occupation of massage therapy ranked fourth highest in the country for females. Click here to read the report.

In the current episode of The Rub, Corey Rivera will explain what suicide is, some ways to think and talk about it, and what to do if you or someone you know is in a crisis. 

Because isolation is a contributing factor to suicide risk, Healwell is creating a space for people to come together to process their grief and confusion, and to share their questions and concerns. Jenn Brandel, LICSW will facilitate this event.

Healwell will continue to look into the factors that may have contributed to this important and frightening situation. We will present what we find in future episodes, but at this time we feel it is most important to focus on helping massage therapists stay safe and to create a community that will continue to support that safety.

This event is free and open to all.
