Suicide Awareness Training - Designed for community groups, service clubs, schools, and other organizations, this 15-30 minute training reviews suicide risks, covers basic crisis services, and describes other CWCMH trainings available.
Natural Community Helper Training - A 60-90 minute training designed to raise suicide awareness and teach the basic skills for conducting a brief suicide intervention and referral process. This training emphasizes how everyone can effectively "ask the question" to help prevent suicides.
