May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and following Bio-One's motto of "Help First. Business Second", it's important to us to recognize the impact that mental health has on our lives. Mental health affects how we think, feel, and behave, and it can impact every aspect of our lives, from our relationships to our work performance.
At Bio-One, we understand the importance of mental health and the toll that traumatic events can take on our emotional well-being. That's why we offer specialized cleaning services for situations where traumatic events have occurred, such as crime scenes or accidents. Our team is certified in Mental Health First Aid and trained to provide compassionate and professional cleaning services on a 24/7 basis while prioritizing the safety and well-being of our clients.
We also believe in promoting mental health and wellness in our communities. This month, we encourage everyone to prioritize their mental health and to seek support if they need it. We can all take steps to support mental health, whether it's practicing self-care, reaching out to a friend or loved one, or advocating for mental health awareness.
National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI)
Together, we can work towards a society where mental health is prioritized and everyone has access to the support and resources they need to thrive. Let's use this month to raise awareness and show support for those who may be struggling with mental health challenges.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis and need immediate assistance, please call "911" and explain the nature of your problem to the operator. The Mental Health Services Division (MHSD) administers a number of mental health programs for Children and Youth, Adults and Older Adults.
We love seeing Bio-One offices send in their mask pictures! Everyone is looking awesome and staying safe. Thanks for doing your part!
Bio-One Flagstaff recently partnered with an amazing non profit called Changed By Nature Outdoors.
It is national, and they do adventures all over the US. They take vets, wounded warriors, first responders, etc on outdoor adventures to try and help them find an outlet to be able to refocus and help with PTSD. They have saved lives this year that would have been lost to suicide but were not because of the program.
Way to go Bio-One Flagstaff! We are always proud of what our Bio-One franchises accomplish.

April 7–13 is National Victim's Rights Week!
Bio-One has the opportunity to help people after an unfortunate event, but we understand the pain of survivors is a long and ongoing process. We operate by the motto: help first, business second and we believe a community support system is such a great way to help those around you.
If you know someone needing support, offer them an ear or help point them in the direction of professoinal help if necessary.
Below are some Victim's Support resources:
National Center for Victims of Crime
Today, January 9th, law enforcement associations across America are celebrating National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.
Women and men who make the decision to put on a uniform and serve and protect our communities deserve our gratitude and respect for their service. All of us show our appreciation and support of law enforcement throughout the year, and we hope you take extra time today to thank a police officer, send a note of support, etc.
Thank you to all the prior Bio-One officers and all the law enforcement out there keeping our neighborhoods safe. We appreciate you!
This is a great opportunity to meet and interact with your local law enforcement. If you know someone in law enforcement, great! If you don't, also great! You might hear some interesting stories and get the chance to say thank you.
Events are held across the United States. Check out the national link below along with local Facebook pages, websites, etc.

June is National Safety Month. This can mean a lot of different things but the type of safety we want to talk about is your personal safety from acts of violence.
T I P S
1. Make eye contact with people that concern you. Sometimes all an attacker is looking for is an easy target and they aren't interested in people that will put up a fight. They now know you've seen their face.
2. Don't be afraid to say no to politeness. If you feel uneasy about someone who stepped into the elevator, just step off. You don't have to stay on just to avoid an awkward situation.
3. Avoid parking next to vans or large vehicles that can quickly grab you as you're trying to get into your car.
4. Don't sit in your car, especially at night. Always park and get to where you are going. The longer you wait in your car, the more of a target you are.
5. Be aware of scams. If you see someone needing help on the side of the road, call 9-1-1 and keep driving. If you get pulled over alone, you are allowed to call the police and very that the person who pulled you over is a valid police officer.
6. Practice being aware. Know who is walking behind you. If you're walking alone at night, take out your headphones and get off the phone. These are all described as distracted behavior that attackers look for.
7. Escape is always the best option. Even if this means you may get hurt in the process, don't be afraid to scream, fight, and do what it takes to get away. Never let anyone take you anywhere without a fight.
A little self awareness can go a long way! The more you understand about how people are targeted, the better you can make safe decisions that will become second nature to you.
