Counseling on Access to Lethal Means (CALM) Clinical Workshop

The use of means safety interventions is an important strategy for keeping individuals at risk safe during times of crisis. The CALM Clinical Workshop prepares clinicians to have collaborative and effective conversations about the safe storage of medications and firearms—the most common means of suicide attempts and suicide deaths, respectively. 

Participants will be able to provide a rationale for using means safety interventions, articulate multiple options for increasing the safety of firearm storage, outline steps for reducing access to dangerous doses of medication, and practice conducting means safety interventions with at-risk individuals and their families through case discussions and role plays.
