October 7, 2024- Throughout the month of September, Henry Schein, Inc. and its Team Schein Members (TSMs) from seven countries joined to walk nearly 13 million steps to raise awareness and support for suicide prevention. As part of a global initiative, the Company organized a series of Steps for Suicide Prevention™ walks onsite at its locations in the U.S., Australia, Canada, China, Germany, South Africa, and the UK. TSMs working remotely also participated by counting steps taken from home.
Henry Schein’s Wellness Committee, together with the Company’s Team Schein Engagement group, organized the events aimed at fostering a culture of compassion, understanding, and support for individuals affected by suicide. In addition to the walks, the Company provided financial donations in support of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), Suicide Awareness and Remembrance Flag, and more, including numerous international organizations.
