Join Occupational Health Services on Thursday, June 19 from noon-1 p.m., for this webinar presentation from agricultural health liaison at the AgriSafe Network, Linda Emanuel, BSN, RN. She will introduce CALM.

CALM (Conversations on Access to Lethal Means) is a suicide prevention training program that encourages people and organizations to safely store lethal means (firearms and medications) during a suicidal crisis. They may be able to save a life by temporarily putting time and distance between a suicidal person and highly lethal means. This training is neither anti-gun nor anti-drug, and is designed to be a specific, effective part of suicide prevention. CALM has been developed for communities because everyone can benefit from this training.

At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to…

1. Increase their knowledge about suicide facts.

2. Learn how to inquire about the accessibility of lethal means.

3. Learn how to suggest safe storage.

4. Appraise results of lethal means reduction in countries outside the U.S.

5. Practice their new skills through group discussion.

Occupational Health Services will provide lunch from 11:30 a.m.-noon, with the presentation to follow from noon-1 p.m.
