  • After the Unthinkable: Workplace Suicide Postvention, the First 48 Hours & Peer Support with Dr. John Gaal

    After the Unthinkable: Workplace Suicide Postvention, the First 48 Hours & Peer Support with Dr. John Gaal
    Jan 6 2026
    When a suicide, overdose, or traumatic death happens in the workplace, the response in the first 48 hours can either stabilize the organization or unintentionally increase harm.Yet most workplaces have no clear postvention plan.In this Headspace for the Workplace conversation, Dr. John Gaal brings together lived experience, labor leadership, and research to explain why postvention is the missing leg of the three-legged stool of workplace mental health: prevention, intervention, and postvention.Drawing from decades of workforce development, construction industry data, and peer-reviewed research, this episode explores:
    • What actually helps people in shock
    • Why EAPs are often underutilized in crisis
    • How trained peer supporters serve as “mental health first responders.”
    • Why partnerships — not silos — save lives

    We talk about what leaders must do when the unthinkable happens.

  • When the Hits Don’t Heal: Athletes, CTE, & Suicide Risk with Dr. John Gaal

    When the Hits Don’t Heal: Athletes, CTE, & Suicide Risk with Dr. John Gaal
    Dec 16 2025
    We tell athletes to “shake it off,” “tough it out,” and “get back in the game.”
    But what happens when the injury is inside the brain, quiet, cumulative, and deadly?In this episode of Hope Illuminated, Dr. John Gaal shares the devastating story of losing his 24-year-old son to suicide and the painful discovery afterward that his son’s brain showed hallmark signs of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).That grief became a catalyst for John’s work at the intersection of repetitive head trauma, depression, pain, opioids, identity loss, and suicide risk, especially among athletes.This conversation brings together heart and science to ask a question our culture often avoids:How many deaths are we calling “mental health problems” when they may also involve brain injuries we never diagnosed?
