In support of The American Legion’s Be the One program, the Columbia Protocol 90-minute training helps attendees identify suicide risks.
The American Legion is committed to reducing veteran suicide through its Be the One initiative by empowering individuals to end the stigma surrounding mental health to save lives. To support this effort, The American Legion and Columbia University Lighthouse Project are providing free suicide prevention training by using the Columbia Protocol, the leading evidence-based tool for suicide risk screening.
The Columbia Protocol is a 90-minute session on Zoom that provides a simple, clear framework to identify suicidal thoughts and behaviors, enabling anyone to confidently ask the right questions and take action.
There are two suicide prevention trainings in January to attend:
- Thursday, Jan. 15, from 2:30-4 p.m. Register
- Thursday, Jan. 22, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Register
Future trainings will be listed on the Be the One training page.
