suicide prevention training
Suicide affects us all. Whether you're aware or not, we all know someone that has thoughts of suicide or is struggling. So how can you be the difference in getting someone the help they need? Our suicide prevention trainings teach you how to recognize when someone is in crisis and connect them to help.
