Prompt
You advise a secondary school principal and an HR director from a manufacturing firm. School: two students hospitalised after overdoses; teachers request 'suicide screening for everyone'. Workplace: rising depression sick leave; managers want compulsory disclosure of diagnoses. Discuss MTSS, SEYLE evidence, whole-school principles, workplace psychosocial risks, organisational vs individual interventions, RTW, disclosure/stigma, burnout vs depression, and crisis red flags.

Interpretation

Reveal interpretationShowHide

School ask. Universal "screen everyone" without treatment and crisis capacity is ethically weak. SEYLE found professional screening did not outperform control on primary suicide outcomes, whereas YAM (universal awareness/skills) did. Prefer multi-tier whole-school approach: climate, SEL, staff pathways, indicated care, postvention — not a single test day.[1][2]

Workplace ask. Compulsory diagnosis disclosure is not a mental health strategy and risks discrimination and concealment. Address psychosocial risks (job strain, support, bullying, hours, insecurity), train managers in supportive conversation, provide confidential care pathways, and use functional RTW planning.[3][4][5]

Burnout language. Exhaustion, cynicism, inefficacy — occupational framing; still assess major depression and suicide risk.[6]

Close. Offer dual workstreams: school MTSS pilot with crisis protocol; workplace risk audit plus graded RTW clinic interface; metrics for 6–12 months.[1][4]
