The American Legion and Columbia University have partnered to bring virtual suicide prevention training to support the Legion's Be the One mission.

As part of The American Legion Be the One mission to end veteran suicide, the Legion has partnered with Columbia University to develop training for those who want to learn more about interacting and responding to veterans who may be in crisis. Members of the American Legion Family are encouraged to take part in this training and share the training with their communities. 

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.
