Jefferson County Offering Suicide Prevention Opportunities

The Jefferson County Mental Health Local Advisory Council is providing two FREE Suicide Prevention educational opportunities, available to all adults in Jefferson County.

The first is the LivingWorks Start online module. Learn to recognize when someone is thinking about suicide and connect them to help and support. This training takes approximately 1 ½ hours to complete and can be done at your own pace with a smartphone or computer with internet access.

The second is the LivingWorks safeTalk Workshop. You will learn and practice powerful, life-saving skills in just four hours. This half-day workshop will be held on October 29th in Boulder.

If you would like to register for Start and/or safeTalk, and are 18 years of age or older, please send an email to mentalhealthjcmt@gmail.com and include your name and phone number.

The goal is ensuring that individuals, friends, and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention and to seek help.
