Four virtual training dates will be held for teaching of the Columbia Protocol to support The American Legion’s veteran suicide prevention mission.
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 provide 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.
Four suicide prevention training sessions will be held in October:
· Tuesday, Oct. 6: 2:30-4 p.m. ET. Register
· Thursday, Oct. 8: 5:30-7 p.m. ET. Register
· Wednesday, Oct. 14: 9-10:30 a.m. ET. Register
