Webinar: Conversations on Access to Lethal Means (CALM) Training
2025-02-12 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Chicago)
Summary: CALM (Conversations on Access to Lethal Means) is a suicide prevention training that encourages the 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 were 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.
Practice their new skills through group discussion
