– Awareness: Recognizing signs and symptoms of distress

– Interaction: Effectively interacting with someone in distress

– Direction: Locating and providing resources to individuals in distress

Youth Mental Health First Aid

MHFA does not cover how to diagnose or treat a mental health or substance use challenge.

Conversations on Access to Lethal Means (CALM)
CALM teaches participants the role of reducing lethal means in preventing suicides, how to discuss lethal means with clients, what secure storage options are available, and how to follow a long-term plan for reducing access to lethal means.

Who should attend? CALM is primarily designed for mental health professionals, however anyone who works with people at risk of suicide may benefit from this training.
