The CALM Conversations workshop is designed to provide friends, family, and others with information on how to recognize and respond to suicide risk, with an additional focus on increasing lethal means safety – especially concerning firearms. Participants learn how to talk with someone who might be having these thoughts in a collaborative, non-judgmental, and supportive manner. CALM Conversations is divided into four sections. Section 1: Learn basic facts and misconceptions about suicide, common risk factors and warning signs, and the importance of means safety in keeping at-risk individuals safe.Section 2: Learn to ask about mood and suicide, with opportunities to practice asking questions in their own words.Section 3: Focuses on connecting at-risk individuals to both formal and informal sources of support.Section 4: Focuses on discussing lethal means safety in a way that respects the at-risk individual’s rights and autonomy. The goal is making the environment safer for the at-risk individual until their mood state improves.
