Suicidal crises can be temporary, but access to lethal means can turn a temporary crisis into a permanent outcome. Join For All Seasons’ Lauren K. Weber, Chief Strategy Officer, and Lesa Mulcahy, Chief Clinical Officer, for an introduction to Counseling on Access to Lethal Means (CALM), an evidence-informed approach to reducing suicide risk by creating time, space, and safety when it matters most.

This FREE Lunch & Learn will explore why lethal means safety is an important part of suicide prevention and how compassionate, respectful conversations can help create meaningful layers of safety for someone experiencing a suicidal crisis. Participants will learn practical approaches for talking with individuals at risk about firearms, medications, and other lethal means while preserving dignity, autonomy, and personal choice.

During this session, you will:

Gain a better understanding of CALM and the role of lethal means safety in suicide prevention
Learn how to recognize opportunities for a CALM conversation with someone who may be at risk
Explore practical, compassionate ways to talk about firearms, medications, and other lethal means
Learn strategies for creating time and distance from lethal means during periods of crisis
Build greater confidence in having these conversations while respecting dignity, autonomy, and personal choice
Enjoy a free lunch while learning practical strategies that can help create an important layer of safety when someone is experiencing a suicidal crisis. Whether you work directly with individuals at risk or simply want to be better prepared to support someone you care about, this session will provide knowledge and tools you can put into practice.
