Reducing access to lethal means, such as firearms and medication, can determine whether a person at risk for suicide lives or dies. The CALM course focuses on how to reduce access to the methods people use to kill themselves. It is primarily designed for mental health professionals, but others who work with people at risk for suicide—such as health care providers and social service professionals—would also benefit. The curriculum covers who needs lethal means counseling and how to collaborate with individuals at risk and their families to create safer environments by reducing access to lethal means.
Learning Objectives:

Identify who needs lethal means counseling.
Collaborate with individuals at risk and their families to reduce access to lethal methods.
