Participants learn how to identify people who have thoughts of suicide and recognize their invitations for help; understand how beliefs and attitudes can affect suicide interventions; conduct a safety assessment and develop a safety plan for a person at risk; confirm a person’s intent to follow through on the safety plan; and connect an at-risk person with community resources.
