This FREE training, regularly $25, is being offered as part of the Oregon Health Authority Comprehensive Suicide Prevention Grant from the CDC. This session is being provided specifically for Suicide Prevention Partners across the state, giving you a chance to preview and participate in the pilot, offer feedback, and consider how this training may fit in with you current suicide prevention efforts.

Oregon Community CALM - Conversations on Lethal Means - is a 2-hour workshop designed to help family, friends, and community members have life-saving conversations with individuals who may be thinking of suicide or during times of crisis.

Anyone 18 years or older can learn these community helper skills that have an added focus on reducing access to lethal means, especially firearms and medications; however, Oregon Community CALM is neither anti-gun nor anti-medication. This training is based on the provider-focused Oregon CALM training and research with Oregonians who own firearms.
