Means Safety

Counseling Training

Means safety counseling, also referred to as means restriction counseling, entails assessing whether an individual at risk for suicide has access to a firearm or other lethal means for suicide and working with the individual and their support system to limit their access to these means until suicide risk has declined. Means safety has long been considered an important component of helping suicidal individuals in times of distress. Non-clinical, mental health allies (e.g., Community Members, First Responders, Peers, Caregivers, Spouses) are encouraged to engage in means safety counseling as well. This workshop will provide an overview of means safety counseling with individuals at risk and provide practical suggestions and tips for navigating conversations about safety and firearms.

Eligibility: Community-Based Veteran-Serving Mental Health Clinicians AND Mental Health Allies of Veterans and Service Members (e.g., Community Members, First Responders, Peers, Spouses, Caregivers)
