CALM - Counseling on Access to Deadly Means

Reducing access to lethal means, such as firearms and medication, can determine whether a person at risk for suicide lives or dies. 

While this course is primarily designed for mental health professionals, others who work with people at risk for suicide, like social service professionals and health care providers, may also benefit from taking it.

After completing this course you will be able to:

• Identify clients for whom lethal means counseling is appropriate.
• Describe strategies for raising the topic of lethal means, and feel more comfortable and competent applying these strategies with clients.
• Advise clients on specific off-site and in-home secure storage options for firearms and strategies to limit access to dangerous medications.
• Work with your clients and their families to develop a specific plan to reduce access to lethal means and follow up on the plan over time.
