Be the One: Suicide prevention training Sept. 9

September 09, 2025 2:30-4 p.m. Eastern time

As part of The American Legion Be the One mission to end veteran suicide, we have joined forces with Columbia University to develop free, 90-minute online training for those who want to learn more about interacting and responding with veterans who may be in crisis. 

After the training, participants will be able to:

• Use the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale to determine at-risk individuals.

• Identify risk factors and warning signs

• Outline the types of suicidal ideation and four behaviors that indicate imminent risk.

• Communicate effectively with an individual who may be at risk of hurting themselves.
