About this Event

CALM teaches lifesaving skills:
This 3-hour workshop is designed to help implement strategies to put time and distance between someone at risk of suicide and lethal means. Reducing access to lethal means, such as firearms and Medic*tion, can determine whether a person at risk for suicide lives or dies.

  • Provide an introduction to firearms
  • Model intervention strategies through the use of role plays & video presentations

This course is free and is open to:

  • Law enforcement
  • First responders
  • Military and Veteran service organizations
  • Health care professionals
  • School counselors and administrators
  • Mental health and behavioral health providers
  • Other community members working with individuals at risk of suicide

It covers how to:

  • Identify people who could benefit from lethal means counseling
  • Ask about access to lethal methods
  • Work with them—and their families—to reduce access
