what we do.
Trainings & Presentations
Trainings & Presentations
We provide evidence-based suicide prevention gatekeeper trainings, including C.A.L.M. (Counseling on Access to Lethal Means), QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer), VA S.A.V.E., and other relevant programs. These trainings equip individuals and organizations with practical skills, data-driven insights, and proven strategies to recognize warning signs, engage in supportive conversations, and connect those at risk with life-saving resources.
Community Engagement
Community Engagement
We believe suicide prevention is a community effort. Our coalition actively engages with the public by tabling at local events focused on mental health and wellness, offering resources and conversations that raise awareness and foster hope. We also provide volunteer opportunities for those who want to make a difference and join us in strengthening community connections. In addition, our team is available for presentations and trainings, equipping organizations, schools, and community groups with practical tools to recognize warning signs and support those at risk. Together, we can build a safer, more supportive community.
Mental Health Awareness and Stigma Busting
Mental Health Awareness and Stigma Busting
Our meetings and activities confront the stigma of suicide and mental health treatment head-on. The members of the Coalition learn about ways to build coping skills, build awareness of resources and engage all members of our community as part of the solution to end suicide.
