QPR

QPR is a suicide prevention training for participants to be able to recognize the warning signs of suicide and question, persuade, and refer people at risk for suicide for help.

CALM

Counseling on Access to Lethal Means is a 6-hour training to assist health care and direct service providers in using Lethal Means Counseling with an informed, collaborative, and respectful approach. Neither anti-gun nor anti-medication, Oregon CALM seeks to build confidence in addressing these highly lethal means with clients at risk of suicide.

ASIST

Each ASIST workshop shares many core features that make up the LivingWorks international standard. Some parts of ASIST take place with all participants together, and others take place in a smaller work group. This helps create a balance between safety and challenge.
