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.

CALM: Counseling on Access to Lethal Means is designed to:

  • Develop the skills necessary to support a person at risk of suicide and their family
  • Create an understanding of the need to put time and distance between someone at risk of suicide and a wide range of lethal means
  • Provide basic information and data about public health approaches to suicide prevention
  • 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

*Workshops are open to any interested individuals, businesses, faith based groups, professionals, or community groups. You may register individually or schedule an AS+K? workshop for your group. All participants will receive a certificate upon completion. Duration: 3 hours, Max capacity: 25 partcipants.
