Counseling on Access to Lethal Means

The Counseling on Access to Lethal Means (CALM) online course is open on Train Utah!

Reducing access to lethal means can significantly reduce suicide rates. CALM-Utah provides social workers, physicians, and other clinicians with the skills and tools to have sensitive conversations with high-risk patients. It gives useful examples about how to ask about access to firearms (and other highly-fatal means), and works with patients and their families to increase safety in a supportive and engaging method.

The CALM-Utah online course is free, takes approximately one hour, and offers NASW-Utah credit and 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 credit with the UMA  (see attached flyers; free printed flyers available on request). The course is available on the train.org/Utah website once you create a free profile.

I invite your participation in CALM-Utah and ask that you share this opportunity among your colleagues. Thank you for your help to spread the word.

Warmly,
