UPDATE: S.A.V.E. and Suicide Prevention
Training link
All SSVF grantee staff must be trained
annually in S.A.V.E., a suicide prevention training from VA. Staff should
first attempt to request in-person training from their locally certified
S.A.V.E. trainer, either a VAMC Suicide Prevention Coordinator or Homeless
Program Staff Point of Contact (POC). If in-person training is unavailable, all
staff should view the S.A.V.E training online. The link to the SAVE
training on the SSVF website is not active at this time, grantees must access
the SAVE training using the YouTube link below:
