Breaking Silence, Saving Lives: A Conversation with Cal Beyer

Breaking Silence, Saving Lives: A Conversation with Cal Beyer

In this episode of PTSD and Beyond, Dr. Deb sits down with Cal Beyer, Senior Director of SAFE Workplaces and a national leader in suicide awareness and prevention.

Cal’s story is one of purpose, perseverance, and impact. From his personal journey to his professional mission, Cal has dedicated his career to breaking the silence around mental health in the workplace and building safer, more compassionate cultures. His legacy work has touched industries, communities, and families; showing that safety is not just about physical hazards, but also about mental health, psychological safety, and the well-being of every worker.

Together, Dr. Deb and Cal explore:

• Cal’s personal story and what led him to this work


• How suicide prevention became part of his professional calling


• The role of leadership in breaking stigma and opening conversations


• Why SAFE Workplaces go beyond compliance to protect mental health


• How each of us can contribute to saving lives in our communities and workplaces

This powerful conversation is a reminder that when we break silence, we create space for healing, connection, and life-saving change.

If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. In the U.S., dial 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline to connect with support 24/7.

In Love and Healing,

Dr. Deb
