CALM Conversations

Conversations on Access to Lethal Means (CALM) is a training program that aims to prevent suicide by teaching people how to safely store lethal means, such as firearms and medications, during a crisis. The program’s goal is to create distance and time between people at risk of suicide and lethal means, which can potentially save lives. CALM Conversations is intended for the general public and provides tools for intervening with people at risk before or during a crisis. If your work frequently puts you in touch with people who are at their lowest–perhaps you’re a defense or divorce attorney, tend bar, serve eviction notices, teach court-ordered drunk driving classes–this workshop may help you save lives. This workshop is intended for a general audience and requires no prior training in mental health or suicide prevention.

Registration is required.
