    Reducing suicide risk through collaborative, culturally informed conversations about lethal means.

    A Life-Saving Approach to Suicide Prevention

    Counseling on Access to Lethal Means (CALM) is a powerful, evidence-based addition to existing strategies that reduce the risk of suicide death in at-risk people, all while respecting their rights and autonomy.

    Our Services

    For Clinicians

    Effective means safety counseling saves lives — and we make it easy to build that skill. Our CALM Clinical Workshops teach clinicians to collaborate with clients on safe storage of firearms and medications, available live in-person or virtually. Clinicians who prefer self-paced learning can access CALM Online for free or earn continuing education credits for a small fee. For clinicians with limited firearms background, CALM-SAFE (Supporting Alliances through Firearms Education) builds cultural literacy and practical knowledge of safe storage options, making those conversations with clients more confident and effective.

    For Communities

    We help communities build real momentum around suicide prevention — without leaving anyone out. CALM Conversations is a 90-minute gatekeeper training that equips community members to recognize warning signs, ask about risk, and support loved ones through connection and safe storage of firearms and medications. Our Lethal Means Academy events bring care providers, public health professionals, and local gun community members together around shared goals — reducing suicide while fully respecting individual rights. It's a proven model for building trust and collaborative action across diverse stakeholders.

    For Organizations

    Equip your organization to deliver sustainable, evidence-informed means safety interventions at scale. CALM Train-the-Trainer (T4T) Seminars prepare professionals to lead CALM Clinical Workshops and CALM Conversations — available virtually for individuals and small groups, or on-site for larger organizations. CALM Online Licensing allows organizations to host CALM Online within their own LMS with customization options. For systemwide integration, our Comprehensive Consultation Services cover policy development, safe storage guidance, EMR template development, and program evaluation. All training reflects a rights-respecting approach designed to work across diverse settings.
