Summary: CALM (Conversations on Access to Lethal Means) is a suicide prevention training that encourages safe storage of lethal means (firearms and medications) during a suicidal crisis. By temporarily putting time and distance between a suicidal person and highly lethal means, a life may be saved. CALM: Counseling on Access to Lethal Means was originally created as a workshop designed for mental health professionals.
Conversations on Access to Lethal Means was developed for communities because everyone can benefit from this training . This training is not anti-gun or anti-drug and is designed to be a specific effective part of suicide prevention.
Intended Audience: All communities of interest in suicide prevention
Objectives: At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to…
- Increase their knowledge about suicide facts
- Learn how to inquire about the accessibility of lethal means
- Learn how to suggest safe storage
- Appraise results of lethal means reduction in countries outside the U.S.
