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.
Bio-One answers the call to help our community and remediate a variety of scenes. From hoarding, crime scene cleaning, or simply giving back, we'd like to bring you into the Bio-One world by sharing stories of the unique and important work we do.

“We have cherished each opportunity to truly make a difference in our community.” - Rene Flohr, Bio-One of Poway
“When looking at purchasing a Bio-One office, the first thing that stuck out to us wasn’t the fact that we would be cleaning what is impacted after a suicide, homicide, unattended death or so-on. What stuck out to us was 'Help First, Business Second.' We wanted to help people and make a difference in our community." - Rebecca Wallace, Bio-One of Flagstaff
“We value each and every relationship we have built and the opportunities we have had to truly make a difference in the lives of those in need." - Nadine Black, Bio-One of Winston-Salem

There's a reason Bio-One Inc. is considered one of the Hottest Franchises in 2021.
Our number one goal is to build a thriving community of franchise owners. We achieve this with our robust training and support program, systems and tools.
