Oregon CALM - Counseling on Access to Lethal Means assists health care and direct service providers in using Lethal Means Counseling with an informed, collaborative, and respectful approach. Neither anti-gun nor anti-medication, Oregon CALM seeks to build confidence in addressing these highly lethal means with clients at risk of suicide. Several creative solutions for creating time and distance will be shared, along with lessons learned from research conducted in rural parts of Oregon with individuals who own firearms.
