Lethal Means Safety
(LMS) Workshop
Description:
Firearms are the most used means in veteran suicide. Lethal means safety, an evidence-based intervention, focuses on how to improve the voluntary secure storage of firearms and other lethal means to help reduce suicidal behavior. Increasing the time and space between when suicidal thoughts occur and accessing lethal means has the potential to be lifesaving.
This workshop is offered at no cost and is designed for peers, friends, family, and clinical providers of veterans to enhance their knowledge about engaging in lethal means safety conversations. This course provides practical tools and tips for facilitating discussions that promote the voluntary secure storage of firearms.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Describe the importance of addressing lethal means safety
- Identify potential strategies to improve secure storage of firearms
Upcoming Training: February 12th, 2025, from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM CST
