As the oldest and most trusted training on lethal means safety, CALM teaches how to intervene effectively with someone at risk of suicide, both before and during a crisis.
CALM Convos is for general audiences. No clinical background is required. CALM is perfect for community groups, suicide prevention coalitions, shooting clubs, parent groups, EMS/emergency responders, and health professionals. Join us in this vital mission and help save lives!
