SUMMARY:Aligning the Field Around a 988 Messaging Framework
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 22\, 2022 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. ET \nRegister online. \nIn July 2022\, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8255) will transition to 988—an easy to remember three-digit dialing\, texting\, and chat code for anyone experiencing a suicidal or mental health crisis. To help public messengers—including state agencies\, crisis centers\, non-profit organizations\, businesses\, foundations\, and others—in determining when and how to best communicate about 988\, the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention (Action Alliance)\, is releasing a 988 Messaging Framework next month. Developed in collaboration with a 988 Messaging Task Force co-led by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and Vibrant Emotional Health (operational home of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline)\, the 988 Messaging Framework will serve as a roadmap of key elements to consider when planning a messaging strategy around the transition to 988. This resource provides general guidance to the field around when and how to develop public messages about 988 and is not intended to provide tailored\, audience-specific\, ready-to-use messaging. \nJoin the Action Alliance on March 22 at 2:00 p.m. ET for a free webinar—Aligning the Field Around a 988 Messaging Framework—to learn more about this new resource and how you can use it to guide your public messaging efforts. During this hour-long webinar\, participants will: \n· Learn how to utilize the 988 Messaging Framework to inform strategic messaging efforts ahead of and following the nationwide transition to 988 in July 2022. \n· Have an opportunity to hear directly from the national leads of 988—SAMHSA and Vibrant Emotional Health—about 988 implementation and communications and the importance of aligned messaging across the field. \nPanelists for the webinar include: \n· Ms. Kim Torguson\, Director of Engagement & Communications\, National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention\, Education Development Center (moderator) \n· Mr. Mark Custer\, Director\, Reingold \n· Dr. John Draper\, Director\, National Suicide Prevention Lifeline\, Vibrant Emotional Health \n· Ms. Kate Galatas\, Public Sector Co-Lead\, 988 Messaging Task Force\, and Chief 988 Communications & Engagement Officer\, SAMHSA \n· Dr. John Palmieri\, Acting Director of 988\, SAMHSA \nThe Action Alliance thanks Executive Committee (EXCOM) partner Johnson & Johnson—Janssen for providing support for the development of the 988 Messaging Framework.

SUMMARY:Partnering with Firearm Retailers to Promote Temporary Out-of-Home Firearm Storage
DESCRIPTION:Partnering with Firearm Retailers to Promote Temporary Out-of-Home Firearm Storage\nJanuary 25\,  2022  12:00PM ET\nGiven that a majority of suicides involve a firearm\, suicide prevention efforts include strategies to create “time and distance” between a person and a loaded firearm. Several state-based coalitions have created online “storage maps” of firearm retailers and law enforcement agencies willing to consider requests for temporary\, voluntary gun storage; however\, little is known about the lasting outcomes of these initiatives. This presentation describes preliminary findings from The Armory Project\, a VA community partnership with 3 firearm retailers to promote lethal means safety messaging and temporary storage options for suicide prevention. The presenters will discuss lessons learned\, including successful strategies for building VA-community collaboration and facilitators discussing mental health and suicide prevention in gun shops. \nGala True\, Ph.D.\, is an Investigator with the South Central Mental Illness Research\, Education\, and Clinical Center (MIRECC) at the Southeast Louisiana Veterans Health Care System and Associate Professor in the Section on Community and Population Medicine at Louisiana State University School of Medicine. Dr. True’s research focuses on improving access to care and the health of individuals and communities through patient-centered and community-engaged research approaches. \nCaleb Morse is an 11-year Army combat veteran with multiple deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. A Louisiana native\, Caleb is the owner and operator of the Rustic Renegade\, a firearms retail shop in Lafayette that also offers coffee\, gifts\, and a gathering place for veterans and firearms enthusiasts. Caleb is also part of The Armory Project offering out-of-home storage options in his gun shop. \nJoseph Constans\, Ph.D.\, serves as the Senior Program Manager for Suicide Prevention in the Office of Research and Development\, VHA). He has had a 28-year career in VA. For the past 10-years\, his research has concerned suicide and homicide prevention with a particular interest in studying firearm attitudes in vulnerable populations. His research program has been supported with funding from VA CSRD\, VA HSRD\, CDC\, and DoD. \nRegister online for this virtual event. \nPresenters: Gala True\, Ph.D.Mr. Caleb Morse and Joseph Constans\, Ph.D. \nQuestions?\nChristie Machan\, LCSW VA Rocky Mountain MIRECCChristie.Machan@va.gov

SUMMARY:Supporting Our Military and Veteran Caregivers
DESCRIPTION:Caregiving for men and women who served in our military is a critical component of a Veteran’s healthcare plan. Being a military or Veteran family caregiver can be one of the most important and challenging roles family members and loved ones will ever have. Challenges for caregivers include behavioral health risks\, risk of social isolation\, effective communication between caregivers and their children\, financial stability\, and taking time off from one’s job. Despite where one is in the journey\, establishing an effective road map can bridge some of those challenges. \n\n\nThis 1.5-hour webinar will provide a framework for understanding systems of care and support and the impact a Veteran’s illness or challenges can have on a family. We will discuss strategies for helping Veterans obtain the care they deserve as well as strategies for caregiver self-care. Participants will discover tools and resources available to promote wellness for our service members\, Veterans\, and their caregivers. \nDate: November 16\, 2021Time: 1:30–3:00 p.m. ET \n\nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe the military and Veteran family experience and share insights on their behavioral health needs\nIllustrate how military and Veteran family life may be impacted by trauma and secondary/vicarious trauma\nDemonstrate concrete strategies for supporting caregivers and preventing burnout\nConnect with caregivers through hearing their story\nProvide examples of peer-based support and services to connect the caregivers of service members\, Veterans\, and their families (SMVF) with access points to behavioral health resources.\n\nTarget Audience\n\nState agencies\, policymakers\, business leaders\, community partners\, behavioral health specialists\, SMVF\, and peer support leaders. \n\n\n\nPresenters\n\nStacey Owens\, MSW\, LCSW-C\, Military and Veterans Affairs Liaison\, Office of Intergovernmental and External Affairs\, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (Moderator)\nMelissa Comeau\, Director\, Military and Veteran Caregiver Network\, American Red Cross\nShawn Moore\, LMSW\, Executive Director\, Founder\, Caregivers on the Homefront\nKathleen LeRoy\, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Caregiver
